Status for gnome-session/46.0-8

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
gnome-session-wrapper-Avoid-running-as-a-subprocess.patch gnome-session wrapper: Avoid running as a subprocess
The gnome-settings-daemon 47.x test suite runs gnome-session as a
captive subprocess, terminating it after testing. If the gnome-session
wrapper script re-runs itself as a subprocess, then the subprocess will
eventually exec the actual gnome-session binary, but the parent will
continue to run.

This results in the g-s-d test suite eventually terminating the parent
but not the child, which breaks test suite assumptions for later tests
(which expect to get a new instance of gnome-session every time).

This reverts commit 00e0e6226371d53f651cc881e74c0543192c94a8.

Keep this for compatibility reasons, many apps still depends on this

This is Debian-specific - upstream have chosen to remove this compatibility but
we'll keep it.
