Subject: Run Openbox with gnome-session the proper way, without using the deprecated gnome-wm.
X-Git-Url: https://git.brokenzipper.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7e6ef2683f68d0b8cf75d4ebb6a778cd87288d7f;p=chaz%2Fopenbox

Run Openbox with gnome-session the proper way, without using the deprecated gnome-wm.

See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=555406#c5
Hopefully this continues to work for a while.
