[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#749389: xmonad GNOME session references obsolete component gnome-panel

[David Banks]

Package: xmonad
Version: 0.11-7+b1
Severity: normal

The file installed to /usr/share/gnome-session/xmonad.session contains a line
as such:

  RequiredComponents=gnome-settings-daemon;gnome-panel;xmonad

However, in GNOME 3.8 the 'gnome-panel' component was removed, meaning that
xmonad is unable to start up through GDM.  GDM will give the message
"Oh no!  Something has gone wrong", while syslog will reveal the true culprit:

  May 26 15:51:45 motylyok gnome-session[5779]: gnome-session[5779]: WARNING: Unable to find required component 'gnome-panel'
  May 26 15:51:45 motylyok gnome-session[5779]: WARNING: Unable to find required component 'gnome-panel'

Removing the 'gnome-panel' reference from the session file allowed xmonad/GNOME
to start up correctly.

Cheers,
Dave
