session: restart non-client apps that set AutoRestart

2026-04-01T18:42:35+00:00

Apps like Orca set X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true in their .desktop files
expecting to be restarted after a crash. However, the restart logic only
handled apps that registered as XSMP or D-Bus clients. Non-client apps
emitted "died"/"exited" signals but nothing subscribed to them. This bug
was inherited from gnome-session.

Connect the "died" and "exited" signals on autostart apps to trigger
restart for non-client apps with AutoRestart enabled. Also fall back to
X-GNOME-AutoRestart when X-MATE-AutoRestart is not present, for
compatibility with apps that only set the GNOME key.

Fixes #321

session: Add sound events for login and logout

2026-03-18T15:17:03+00:00

Adds optional libcanberra support to play desktop-login and
desktop-logout sound events during session start and end. Sound playback
is controlled through the system sound theme configuration.

manager: Loosen environment variable restrictions

2025-10-15T14:50:37+00:00

This loosens mate-session's env var value restrictions to match
systemd's modern restrictions.

util: Disable capturing of subpatterns

2025-10-15T14:50:37+00:00

It seems that the pattern we use will create a subpattern match for
every character of the value. This appears to then result in a stack
overflow when matching very long values.

It might be an idea to limit the overall length of an environment
variable that is uploaded. But, this should fix the issue of crashes.

util: Only accept common space characters

2025-10-15T14:50:37+00:00

Specifically, systemd only permits " \t\n" and we should stick to the
same set of permitted space characters.

Use g_info() for "screensaver left the bus" message

2025-04-07T19:09:59+00:00

This message is only useful for people developing screensavers,
but occurs normally when the user logs out.

Change it to a g_info() message, so screensaver devs can find it
but normal users don't think they have a bug.
