Add the machinery to provide a classic-mode session (5.25 KB, patch)

Description Debarshi Ray 2012-11-29 14:47:25 UTC 
If gnome-shell-extensions is built with --enable-extensions=classic-mode, it should add drop a .desktop file in $(datadir)/xsessions, and a .session file in $(datadir)/gnome-session/sessions so that the 'classic mode' shows up in the session chooser.

Add the machinery to provide a classic-mode session

A new session is added only when --enable-extensions=classic-mode is
used.

works fine here - we should just figure out what to call it first.
Comment 3 Debarshi Ray 2012-12-05 14:21:55 UTC 
The term 'classic' has leaked out in many places and we will have to rename things anyway. So I am pushing this for the moment.
Comment 4 Debarshi Ray 2012-12-05 14:22:05 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
