Description tuxce 2008-10-23 16:52:30 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
if i change some of required components in gconf path /desktop/gnome/session/required_components, gnome-session doesn't inspect $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications to find the provider.

Steps to reproduce:
1. create a desktop file in $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications, for example openbox.desktop
2. set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager to "openbox"
3. reload gnome-session


Actual results:
an error message
"Unable to find provider 'openbox' of required component 'windowmanager'"

Expected results:
openbox starting as window manager

Does this happen every time?
yes

add $XDG_DATA_HOME to search list for application dirs

like autostart dirs, make gnome-session search in user directory for providers of required components.
