# This module declares the options to define a *display manager*, the
# program responsible for handling X logins (such as LightDM, GDM, or SDDM).
# The display manager allows the user to select a *session
# type*. When the user logs in, the display manager starts the
# *session script* ("xsession" below) to launch the selected session
# type. The session type defines two things: the *desktop manager*
# (e.g., KDE, Gnome or a plain xterm), and optionally the *window
# manager* (e.g. kwin or twm).

# FIXME: this is an ugly hack.
# Some sessions (read: most WMs) don't activate systemd's `graphical-session.target`.
# Other sessions (read: most non-WMs) expect `graphical-session.target` to be reached
# when the entire session is actually ready. We used to just unconditionally force
# `graphical-session.target` to be activated in the session wrapper so things like
# xdg-autostart-generator work on sessions that are wrong, but this broke sessions
# that do things right. So, preserve this behavior (with some extra steps) by matching
# on XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP and deliberately ignoring sessions we know can do the right thing.
