[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#751505: Buggy "Switch user" on the "Action Buttons" plugin
Package: xfce4-panel
Version: 4.10.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Hello,
The "Switch User" option of the "Action Buttons" plugin assumes[0] that if
gdmflexiserver is installed, then GDM is your current dm and will try to
use that program to switch users. In my case, I've installed gdm3 but I'm
actually using lightdm. So, when I try to switch users, xfce will complain
with the following message:
| Unable to start new display:
| GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
| org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files
The correct way of doing this in this case is, I think, that "Switch User"
calls "dm-tool switch-to-greeter" instead of "gdmflexiserver".

Thanks in advance.
