[Bug 1378739] Re: Request for sponsorship: updated package with patch for LP: #1376764

[Francesco Fumanti]

** Description changed:

  Hi,
  
  Onboard does not always automatically start up when logging in , even
  though it is set to do so in the system preferences.
  
  We think that it is because the D-Bus name org.gnome.Shell now also
  exist in Unity Utopic. Thus, we have patched the onboard-
  autostart.desktop file, in a way that we think would cover the needs of
  Unity, GNOME and GNOME fallback/fallback-sessions.
  
  As a side effect, Onboard now also starts in other sessions like KDE,
  XFCE,... but this might be tolerable as they don't have a switch to
  enable it.
  
  We are proposing this fix, because it only needs changes in two lines of
  the onboard version currently shipping with Ubuntu Utopic. However,
  Onboard trunk has in the meantime also a more soffisticated solution
  involving additional checks of XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. This latter solution
- however required more substantial changes to the code base of Onboard.
+ however requires changes to the code base of Onboard.
  
  Thus, I am attaching here an updated package of Onboard with the first
  solution involving only changes to the onboard-autostart.desktop file.
  If you prefer the latter, please let us know and we will look whether we
  can do something.
  
  Cheers
