Subject: [Lxde-list] New release of LXSession, lxde-common, and lxpanel
To: lxde-list <Lxde-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


No new strings are added/removed from all the apps, so no translation
update is needed.

The following changes were done:

lxde-common:
 * nuoveXT2 icon theme is removed from lxde-common and is moved to
lxde-icon-theme package instead.
 * startlxde script now executes 'lxsession -s LXDE -e LXDE' rather
than 'lxsession -s LXDE' to reflect the changes in lxsession.
 * unnecessary files are removed

lxsession:
* new command line argument: -e
 This let you set the internal name of the DE. This value is exported
via env. variable $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP.
 The DE name can be used to match desktop files which contain
compatible OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn key values.
* the -s argument was reserved for session name only and was used to
load related config files for the desktop session.
 For example, you can execute:
 lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE
 This should load config files from Lubuntu dir, but the DE is still
recognized as LXDE by applications.

 So Lubuntu devs if you see this, please upgrade to this version and
remove unnucessary patches you previously did. Your session profile
can be renamed to Lubuntu but please keep using -e LXDE. Otherwise
LXDE applications won't show in your application menu.

lxpanel:
* determine visibility of applications in menu by comparing OnlyShowIn
and NotShowIn key values and $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP.
 That means, if you like, you can have lxpanel show Gnome menu by the following
 export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME
 Then lxpanel will show gnome applications instead of LXDE ones.
