#!/bin/sh
#
# Script to activate profiles (i.e. conditional extra stuff) for the various 
# desktop environments in Debian based on the data in the *.listing files in
# the /etc/desktop-profiles directory. Sourced by /etc/X11/Xsession.
#
# See the desktop-profiles(7) man page for an overview of how this works
#
# Code in this file has a couple of debian-specific parts:
#  - use of tempfile from debian-utils
#    (at start of execution, and in sort_profiles & activate_gnome functions)
#  - hardcoded default values for the different GNUSTEP_*_ROOT env variables
#    (in activate_gnustep function below)

  # directives activating the profiles that have their requirements met.
  #
  # NOTE: this alone isn't enough, the system-wide path file (/etc/gconf/<gconf-version>/path)
  #       needs to contain a include directive for this generated file. (preferably it should 
  #       contain _only_ that include directive setting everything else up through profiles)
