deja-dup make double icon

deja dup make additional icon for it's settings window

[Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz)]

@Robert: I think we can do nothing about it here.
Deja-dup creates a new process for its preferences window and doesnt set a proper parent-pid

ps -ef | grep deja
rico 21206 1 0 08:03 ? 00:00:00 deja-dup
rico 25801 1 9 08:11 ? 00:00:00 deja-dup-preferences

This is yet another candidate for remaps.

Hello! I'm the Deja Dup maintainer. Do you happen to know how to correctly set the ppid? I just use g_spawn_command_line_async. I would have expected that to do the right thing, but I can see it does not...

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Although, since deja-dup-preferences could be launched separately anyway, maybe it's good to have a more generic solution, as ya'll seemed to suggest. There's currently no way elsewhere in the UI to launch deja-dup-preferences (like, there's no .desktop file installed for it), but there might one day be.

Still curious how I would set the PPID though.

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

The PPID should be set by simply spawning a child process. I do not know what language your code is in.

[Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz)]

I am marking this "won't fix", because deja-dup has a valid desktop-file that is matched correctly, but deja-dup-preferences is a standalone application without a matchable desktop-file which is started from within deja-dup without correctly setting its ppid. So we cant match it.

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

Nah, we can fix this with remaps.

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

Fixed in rev 1398.
