The environment variable $GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID is deprecated and we don't know when it will be removed. Here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=542880 some developers suggest other workarounds.
I forgot to add that it's used in: libxdg-vfs/libxdg-vfs-client/src/xdg_vfs_client.c:150: e = getenv ("GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID"); xdg-utils/tests/include/desktop_environment:24: if [ ! -z "$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" ]; then xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-icon-resource:398: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-settings:315: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-copy:221: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-file-dialog:261: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/.#xdg-open.1.39:305: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-desktop-icon:406: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-email:358: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-terminal:300: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-utils-common.in:197: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-desktop-menu:602: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-open:305: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-su:302: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-screensaver:335: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/.#xdg-open.1.40:305: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-mime:427: elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome;
Already fixed in cvs, 2009-10-16 Rex Dieter <rdieter@fedoraproject.org> * prefer gvfs-open over gnome-open * DE=gnome, if org.gnome.SessionManager exists on dbus And per downstream report, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/529287
