Allow specifing session type for --cmd session #148

Closed tmccombs closed 1 month ago

tmccombs commented 2 months ago

When tuigreet uses a session from one of the session directories it can infer the session type from the folder, but if the default session from the cms option is used, then XDG_SESSION_TYPE isn't set. I would like a way to specify the value of the session type (wayland or x11) when using the cms session.

Alternatively, have a way to set environment variables that are set before the pam session is started when using the cmd session.

Adding an argument to provide environment variables to be used when the default command (--cmd) is started could be an option. This would remain flexible to add other, unrelated to the graphical environment, variables if needed.

The way I see it, this should only be applied to the default session: the environment should be cleared if the command is changed from the UI, or a session is selected or remembered. Does this make sense?

@tmccombs Do you have any opinion on this?

tmccombs commented 1 month ago

That sounds good to me

This has been merged onto the main branch and will be included in 0.10.0. If you're using a bleeding-edge version of tuigreet, feel free to test it out and create new issues if you notice problems.
