Hello everyone,

I have some great news for those of you that are using any Linux
distribution that is not based on Gnome. Up to now Ubuntu
Accomplishments would work only if gnome-session process was present,
which was the case for standard Ubuntu and Fedora. However, on
Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Studio and many others, the accomplishments
daemon would never run any scripts, which caused almost all trophies
to be unattainable. A recent fix that landed in trunk branch and is
now available in daily PPA (and will be soon released with 0.3)
removes the need for gnome-session process presence. After a few tests
on several distros I can confirm that the daemon is now able to
successfully run on systems that use a different desktop environment
;)
I am not sure about how much the Viewer supports other distros, but
since it's a pure GTK app, it should work on other distributions too,
maybe pulling some GTK libs as dependencies.

Anyway, you are welcome to test Ubuntu Accomplishments on all Ubuntu
Flavors, and other distros too. Enjoy, please and report encountered
issues! :-)
