The fact that setting DE= ever worked was an unfortunate happenstance, you should not rely on that. xdg-utils *does* however now respect setting XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP After thinking it over, my gut reaction still tells me relying on an undocumented environment variable named "DE" is just not safe. Let's stick with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP I take it back the current code in git should actually respect current values for DE= as it turns out. |
