Dear Maintainer,

Cairo-dock will not be launched by gnome-session.

Jessie gnome-session (3.8.4-3) can not not run a command with arguments. see the bug:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692987

To start Cairo-Dock, I created the file "/usr/local/bin/start-cairo-dock" with lines below:

#! /bin/bash
gnome-session --session=cairo-dock


In "/usr/share/xsessions/cairo-dock.desktop" file, I replaced the line Exec by:

Exec=/usr/local/bin/start-cairo-dock


Regards.

This bug is in fact the consequence of two others bugs:
 #653327: current x11-common package cannot start session with argument
 (in this case "gnome-session --session=cairo-dock")
 #744697: cairo-dock still depends on compiz which is not available
 anymore in Jessie.

Fixing those two bugs (both have a solution) will fix this bug.
