[Bug 741928] In XSession name, parentheses in "Ubuntu (no effects)" mess with sorting in GDM

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable
release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test
with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about
it at http://www.ubuntu.com/download . Thanks again and we appreciate
your help.

Title:
  In XSession name, parentheses in "Ubuntu (no effects)" mess with
  sorting in GDM

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-session

  The XSession name in /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop was changed to
  “Ubuntu”, and gnome-failsafe.desktop to “Ubuntu (Safe Mode)”

  This is good :)
  However, GDM sorts the sessions in an ugly way. We end up with a list like this:

  …
  Ubuntu
  Ubuntu Classic
  Ubuntu Classic (No effects)
  Ubuntu (Safe Mode)
  …

  This separates the two Unity sessions and the two “classic” sessions.
