Bug#907802: gnome-session: Login to Xorg session impossible using lightdm and sddm

[Adrian Immanuel Kieß]

Hello Simon,

I got gnome-session and some other GTK and GNOME applications working
using export GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR="/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/" in
~/.xinitrc.

But currently some GTK and GNOME applications still fail to load, please
see my reply to bug report #906799 and my new bug report #914697.

When logging in to gnome-session through SDDM there is still no login
possible. Login to Enlightenment and fluxbox are working through SDDM, but
afterwards GTK and GNOME applications fail to load (with no error shown).

I tried to search for this bug but couldn't find any solution.

A happy christmas time wishes you,

Adrian Immanuel Kiess
