Description Dick Gevers 2016-05-22 19:53:22 CEST
Description of problem:

Install M6 from 6sta1 iso dated 20 May 2016, including all desktop environments.

Loginto LXDE.

When done choose "logout", now the desktop shows 2 icons for "Home" and also a "Wastebasket" plus a "Wastebin" (when choosing "cancel" these double entries go away).

Minor but very peculiar.

Hi,

The described behaviour is not something new: it was already there in Mga5.

It is a feature that I added to solve bug 14059: LXDE desktop shows all *.desktop files, including the ones saying "OnlyShowIn=<something other than LXDE>" or "NotShowIn=<a list containing LXDE>" but it does not show *.desktop files saying "Hidden=true".

So I added a script that:
  - add "Hidden=true" to *.desktop files that must be hidden on LXDE desktop when a user logs into LXDE;
  - remove "Hidden=true" from those *.desktop files when the user logs out (to allow those files to be displayed on other DE).

That is why you see some icons appearing when you click to log out (if you choose "Cancel", icons are hidden again because you do not log out from LXDE).

Best regards,

Nico.

Okay for someone not accustomed to LXDE it is kind of peculiar, but if thus behaviour is intended I am fine with that setting :))
