Bug#1040920: Acknowledgement (gnome-flashback: Gnome flashback unsets XDG_SESSION_ID)

[Nikolaus Rath]

retitle 1040920 "Gnome flashback breaks out of logind session"
thanks

Upon closer examination, the problem is not that GNome flashback unsets XDG_SESSION_ID, but that it breaks out of the active logind session (so unsetting the variable is, in some way, correct).

In other desktop environments (vanilla i3 as well as regular Gnome), the desktop environment is correctly associated with a logind session:

nikratio at vostro ~> dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.GetSessionByPID uint32:$fish_pid 
method return time=1689506142.664977 sender=:1.6 -> destination=:1.1126 serial=2461 reply_serial=2
   object path "/org/freedesktop/login1/session/_342"

When running Gnome Flashback, however:

ikratio at vostro ~> dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.GetSessionByPID uint32:$fish_pid 
Error org.freedesktop.login1.NoSessionForPID: PID 858156 does not belong to any known session


I don't think this is intentional.. or is it?

Best,
-Nikolaus
