Budgie Desktop session interferes with gnome session

[Corey Kearney]

On an uptodate install of Ubuntu 17.10
Budgies setttings overwrite settings for the GNOME session. For example xsettings overrides need to be different in Budgie, but Budgie uses the same key as GNOME causing a conflict.

Cinniamon has its own xsettings overides. Gnome classic is another gnome session that doesn't affect the regular GNOME session, and Ubunutu's upcoming release will have a GNOME session that does not interfere with the default gnome session.

Budgie should have its own xsettings and not trample other sessions.

overrides exist for both budgie-desktop and budgie-desktop-environment.

We should really tag each override schema with ":budgie-desktop" so that the override does not impact on another desktop's override

[fossfreedom (fossfreedom)]

enc is a debdiff to resolve this issue for the package budgie-desktop

Tested via build and install.

Test case.

Create brand new user.
change the desktop session to Gnome-Shell
login

open nautilus (files)

examine the desktop - the desktop should look and feel "Gnome Shell" i.e. nautilus should have its appmenu in the top-bar

enc is a debdiff to resolve this issue for the package budgie-desktop-environment

Tested via build and install.

Test case.

Create brand new user.
change the desktop session to Gnome-Shell (Ubuntu)
login

examine the desktop - the desktop should look and feel "Gnome Shell" i.e. desktop wallpaper, fonts should be Ubuntu / ambiance

i.e. if that new user had first logged in via budgie-desktop, desktop wallpaper, fonts would be "xplo" and "pocillo"

going to test this more before submitting

Extra testing for budgie-desktop-environment:

1. create new user
2. logon to Ubuntu GNOME session
3. check that the environment is set as per Ubuntu GNOME
4. logout and login to budgie-desktop
5. check that the environment is set as per Ubuntu Budgie

Note: as soon as the user changes a setting such as font/icons/theme in one session, this is automatically seen in the second session i.e. GNOME sessions such as Budgie and Ubuntu are not truly separated. This appears to be a GNOME feature.

Second note:

Rhythmbox, Plank & Tilix appears to ignore when a per desktop override is made. Thus these have to remain all sessions overrides. No idea if these observations are per app or a limitation of the glib patch we are holding in artful.

This bug was fixed in the package budgie-desktop-environment - 0.8.3

---------------
budgie-desktop-environment (0.8.3) artful; urgency=medium

  * Bug-fix release
    - explicitly set budgie-desktop for overrides so that we
      don't trample over other desktops overrides
      (LP: #1713071)
    - Add distro specific override for budgie-menu that was previously
      (but incorrectly) in package budgie-desktop
    - Ensure plank only starts for Budgie, not for all desktop sessions
      (LP: #1713128)
    - Revert panel dynamic transparency by default since this cannot
      be overridden; transparency can be user-defined
