Comment 11 for bug 879942

Ok, I don't see a way around this either now. I'll try something like: if is-auto-starting and is-gnome-shell then fail, basically a working replacement for "NotShowIn=GNOME;". Manually starting Onboard will then stay possible, no matter the system state.

What about X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true, is there a clean way to opt out of restarting at termination? I can see rate limiting in the gnome-session source, but must have missed a clear way to end restarts.

Getting GMOME to support alternative osks may not be easy. As I understand it, the Activities view is inaccessible to portable keyboards, so only shell extensions can fully replace the built-in keyboard. It's either GNOME Shell only or the rest of the world. That's a sad state of affairs IMO, and it isn't only an obstacle for Onboard, but hurts a whole eco-system of brilliant input devices like Dasher and Cellwriter.
