Description Vincent Untz 2009-05-12 13:25:06 UTC 
data/greeter-autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop.in.in assumes gnome-settings-daemon is in LIBEXECDIR.
daemon/gdm-server.c assumes ck-get-x11-display-device is in LIBEXECDIR.

But depending on the distribution, this is not always true. It'd be nice to have some configure option for this.

Note: this is similar to what gnome-session is doing with --with-at-spi-registryd-directory

Add --with-gnome-settings-daemon-directory and
--with-consolekit-directory for distributions that do not put
gnome-settings-daemon and ck-get-x11-display-device directly in
LIBEXECDIR.

Closes: bgo#582320

This seems okay, but wouldn't it be better to get this info from pkg-config ?

I think there may already be a bug somewhat related to this one, not sure.

Well, that could be a solution.

But then we also have bug 597050, now, for the polkit agent. And the issue there is that there's no really relevant pkg-config file for the agent...
