Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Usertags: unblock

Please consider unblocking of planned upload of package mate-session-manager

+  * debian/patches:

-> Two more patches from upstream should arrive in Debian jessie.

+    + Add 0002_msmgnome-Allow-users-to-disable-one-or-both-compatib.patch.
+      Follow-up patch for previously added dconf switch that handles
+      gnome-keyring and smproxy compat mode (see: #775198). (Closes:
+      #775571).

-> This fixes #775571, a follow-up bug of #775198 (which got fixed in
1.8.1-6). Quoting from the current bug report:

"""
The patch introduced by #775189 to allow users to disable gnome-keyring
integration has a logic issue and leads to only *one* of the components
to be initialized (in order, `smproxy`, then `keyring`).  This means
that with the default list of `['keyring', 'smproxy']`, only the
`smproxy` component will get initialized.

In practice it breaks the keyring, including gpg-agent and ssh-agent.

The patch provided via #775571 got immediately applied upstream.
"""

+    + Add 0003_set-XDG_CURRENT-DESKTOP-if-empty.patch. Make sure that
+      XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP gets set if not already set by DM. (Closes:
+      #775905).

LightDM and KDM (not tested with other DMs) don't set the
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP env var (which is used in GLib 2.42 internally) if
"Default Xsession" or "default" is used as session at login time. Thus,
applications that depend on XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP being set to "MATE" fail.

light+love,
Mike
