[Bug 1378739] Re: Updated package with patch for autostart problem LP: #1376764

[Timo Jyrinki]

Seems good to me. I built it at https://launchpad.net/~timo-
jyrinki/+archive/ubuntu/ppa and tested a few times logging in/out with
onboard set to start or not in the settings. I've also made a branch out
of your debdiff, retargeted to vivid, so that it's easier to sponsor
since I cannot sponsor a main package myself.

Title:
  Updated package with patch for autostart problem LP: #1376764

Status in onboard package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Onboard does not always automatically start up when logging in , even
  though it is set to do so in the system preferences.

  We think that it is because the D-Bus name org.gnome.Shell now also
  exist in Unity Utopic. Thus, we have patched the onboard-
  autostart.desktop file, in a way that we think would cover the needs
  of Unity, GNOME and GNOME fallback/fallback-sessions.

  As a side effect, Onboard now also starts in other sessions like KDE,
  XFCE,... but this might be tolerable as they don't have a switch to
  enable it.

  We are proposing this fix, because it only needs changes in two lines
  of the onboard version currently shipping with Ubuntu Utopic. However,
  Onboard trunk has in the meantime also a more soffisticated solution
  involving additional checks of XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. This latter
  solution however requires changes to the code base of Onboard.

  Thus, I am attaching here an updated package of Onboard with the first
  solution involving only changes to the onboard-autostart.desktop file.
  If you prefer the latter, please let us know and we will look whether
  we can do something.

  Cheers
