Cannot open incognito window from desktop action

STR: 1. Open gnome-shell overview 2. Start incognito mode action Result: nothing happens - no new windows appear Opening a new incognito window works fine from existing window
Logs: gnome-session[576]: --incognito-mode needs a --profile parameter to steal the data from
Yes, that's broken. --profile needs to be added to the desktop action, but this needs to respect XDG_CONFIG_HOME if it exists.
Either that or make --incognito-mode take the profile from XDG_CONFIG_HOME by default.
Thanks for reporting. This is already fixed in 3.15.90. You've got an older version tagged in Continuous. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 728536 ***
