gnome-session (40.1.1-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload
  * Partially revert changes to gnomerc handling in previous version.

    The previous version moved handling of two Debian-specific
    and GNOME-specific features from /etc/X11/Xsession.d to
    /etc/profile.d. Those features are: sourcing ~/.gnomerc, and adding
    /usr/share/gnome to XDG_DATA_DIRS. Previously, those features worked
    for X11 sessions, but not for Wayland sessions.

    For X11 users, this use of /etc/profile.d works for users of gdm,
    GNOME's recommended display manager, because /etc/gdm/Xsession sources
    /etc/profile. lxdm and sddm appear to have similar code. However,
    it will not necessarily work for users of other display managers
    such as lightdm and xdm, because /etc/X11/Xsession does not source
    /etc/profile; this could cause these features to regress. This means
    we should prefer to keep Xsession.d responsible for this feature,
    and only rely on /etc/profile.d in the case where Xsession.d is
    unsuitable, namely Wayland.

    For Wayland users, this relies on gnome-session using a login shell
    to relaunch itself when it detects a Wayland session. However,
    /etc/profile is only sourced for users whose configured login shell
    is bash or ksh, and is not currently sourced for users whose shell is
    zsh or a non-Bourne shell like csh. This is not a regression, merely
    a new feature that works for users of some shells but not others.

    As a side-effect, this also reinstates the conffile that was not
    correctly removed in the previous version (Closes: #996809, #996853).

  * Team upload

  [ Jian-Hong Pan, Gunnar Hjalmarsson ]
  * debian/55gnome-session_gnomerc: Make gnomerc work with both X11 and
    Wayland.
    The original 55gnome-session_gnomerc installed under the path
    /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ will only be executed with X11. To make both X11
    and Wayland use it, the script can be moved into /etc/profile.d/ and
    renamed as gnome-session_gnomerc.sh.
    This patch also modifies the way to guard that it is a GNOME
    (or GNOME-derived) session by checking the environment variable
    XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP.
    The environment variable XDG_DATA_DIRS is manipulated as usual.

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * debian/patches: Drop patch to select gnome-session mode.
    This could have been dropped after 3.34.0-3; gnome-session now
    handles both cases without having us to handle it.

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * Build-depend on libgl-dev instead of transitional libgl1-mesa-dev
  * Build-depend on libgles-dev instead of transitional libgles2-mesa-dev
  * d/gnome-session_gnomerc.sh: Quote more defensively
  * d/gnome-session_gnomerc.sh: Add magic comments to make it shellcheck-clean
