RE: Display option in multiscreen (session management)

["JAYARAJ P R" <jayaraj rajappan wipro com>]

Hi,

As per Havoc's suggestion, we are now planning to change gnome-client.c
instead of modifying all the GNOME applications. Following is the change
we propose to gnome-client.c

In function client_save_yourself_callback(), add the following line
(indicated with '+')

[ snip ]
....
client_set_clone_command (client);
client_set_restart_command (client);
+ gnome_client_set_environment (client, "DISPLAY", DisplayString
(GDK_DISPLAY ());
g_signal_emit (client, client_signals[SAVE_YOURSELF], 0,
                 1,
                 client->save_style,
                 shutdown,
                 client->interact_style,
                 fast,
                 &ret);
...
[snip]

We tried out with some GNOME applications (gnome-calculator,
gnome-character-map etc)
and it seems to save the information correctly on a multi-screen setup.

Please give your comments on the above change.

Thanks,
Jayaraj

NOTE: Jacob, thanks for putting in the right fix for #79861.
