We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2015-01-02 02:28:47 CST

I have been testing TDE in mixed desktop environments. TDM currently is TDE-centric and could use better support for running non TDE environments. In the GTK world, GDM and LightDM are pretty much the standard bearers and both support pre and post session scripts.

TDE suports $TDEHOME/Autostart and $TDEHOME/shutdown, but those locations are specific to TDE and are not global to all users. Admins who want to run scripts for all users must populate all user Autostart/shutdown directories but that works only for TDE. Admins could populate all $HOME/.config/autostart directories for all users, but there is a glaring lack of support for running shutdown scripts.

Without special chmod/chown file permissions, users can delete any of those scripts. Providing global pre and post session support in TDM avoids those problems and makes TDM more transparent for non TDE users.
