Hello,

in gnome 2.23, gnome-session doesn't set GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID, but
GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID is often used to set if the desktop environment
is Gnome, like in all scripts from xdg-utils (xdg-open, xdg-email, ...),
www-browser, ...
grep -n GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID xdg-open
305:   elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome;

Is it definitive that GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID is not set by gnome ?
In this case, we need to found another way to determine that the desktop
environment is Gnome (GNOME_KEYRING_PID ?), and we need to adapt all the
scripts which use GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID.

regards,

Luc
