Package: gdebi
Version: 0.9.5.7+nmu3
Followup-For: Bug #932088

Dear Maintainer,

/usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/gdebi-gtk process don't has correct PPID in XFCE, the parent ID is 1 in the XFCE.

atzlinux    3424       1 24 16:09 ?        00:00:10 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/gdebi-gtk /home/atzlinux/download/qqmusic_1.0.5_amd64.deb

                      ~~~

When I click Install button,I get the error info in .xsession-errors:

Refusing to render service to dead parents.


But in MATE, the gdebi-gtk process has the PPID of caja:

atzlinux    1631    1455  1 15:52 ?        00:00:02 caja
atzlinux    2023    1631 11 15:54 ?        00:00:10 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/gdebi-gtk /home/atzlinux/download/qqmusic_1.0.5_amd64.deb

The caja is the file manager of MATE.

When I click Install button, there is a root password input display, the process user became the root, pkexec can been invoked:

atzlinux    1631    1455  1 15:52 ?        00:00:02 caja
root        2023    1631  6 15:54 ?        00:00:10 pkexec gdebi-gtk --non-interactive /home/atzlinux/download/qqmusic_1.0.5_amd64.deb

The deb package can install success.
