Fwd: Adding Pantheon to the Desktop Enviroments

 

Hey guys,

I sent a message to the xdg mailing list asking them to add Pantheon
to the OnlyShowIn and Desktop lists, so if we've done that we have got
that step done we can go and file bug reports for the components we
need on the GNOME Bugzilla.

I also identified a few problems due to the OnlyShowIn parameters,
fixes are to be expected on Policykit(Software Center & co.) Bluetooth
indicator/Applet, some pulseaudio stuff, GNOME Keyring, Network File
Sharing, GNOME Screensaver and finally Gnome Settings Daemon.
To apply these fixes we need to copy the 18 files I attached into
/etc/xdg/autostart/

Hello everyone,

I'm Fabian from the elementary Team, and we are currently building our
own Desktop Environment based on GNOME Technology, we'd like to be
added to the list of "Registered OnlyShowIn Environments"[1] and the
Desktops List [2], so we can efficently launch or session and don't
have to do a lot of Workarounds.
If there are any other Lists or Pages we should be Listed on I'd
really appreciate to hear from them.

Thanks everyone and have a good day ;)
