#566825 x11-common: Support session with arguments (fix failsafe gnome session)

#566825#5

To:
In case of failsafe session, gnome-session is called with -f options.
The bug was in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/20x11-common_process-args where $1 is
"gnome-session -f"
This causes some troubles when trying to STARTUP_FULL_PATH=$(/usr/bin/which
"$1" || true)
So, we went to else statement, without STARTUP set up

Consequently /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup set it to
/usr/bin/x-session-manager, which is an alternative to gnome-session in
lucid.

Of course you don't have ubuntu packages in Debian.

But you still suffers from this bug, see your GIT repo, as you were
able to find it before closing the bug:

We offer you a patch in your git repository format, what else we can
do to be better citizen? Seems just to be unconstructive thoughts from
your answer.

I had thought that the above might be the problem, but I think now
that what I said above is wrong.

I think that the actual issue is the following one:

#694832 and #566825 also seem duplicates of #653327 .

Sending a copy of this message to all of these bug reports, some of
them quite old; to see if submitters, triagers and maintainers concur
and we can get it fixed.


Cheers.
