[Bug 1423326] Re: lxsession should depend on lxsession-logout

I don't think lxsession-logout should be a depends of lxsession, because
lxsession works perfectly without it. In fact, people may want another
way to log out that lxsession-logout. There is other logout utilities
that work with lxsession.

I have no strong opinion about adding lxsession-logout in the recommends
field of lxsession. That make sense, but it doesn't fix the "problem"
for people who will remove the package and try to log out by clicking on
the lxpanel shortcut. If there is a default setting using lxsession-
logout in lxpanel, that's the same issue (it means, lxpanel needs also a
recommend of lxsession-logout).

Title:
  lxsession should depend on lxsession-logout

Status in lxsession package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Problem: lxsession-logout isn't installed by default, so you cannot
  log out of an LXDE session using the GUI.

  NOTE: this does NOT affect Lubuntu. This only affects a generic LXDE
  install.

  Steps to reproduce: After installing Ubuntu Server or Ubuntu Minimal,
  install the `lxde` metapackage. Reboot, log in to LXDE, and try to log
  out.

  Workaround: run the following in the terminal: sudo apt install
  lxsession-logout
