Update broke vlc #497

Open FunkySalamander opened 1 year ago

What Happened?

I have a single script in "System Settings > Applications > Startup" with a number of 'sleep' & 'exec' commands to manage startup apps.

1 entry in particular (vlc) fails to start via this script or it's menu & dock entries after today's system updates (2023-04-25).

Running it directly from a terminal or prepending it's menu/dock entry with 'screen -d -m' solves the issue.

Steps to Reproduce

Click 'vlc' icon in either the menu or dock. Place a startup script in System Settings > Applications > Startup with a line to start vlc & it's the only one that fails to execute via either:

exec /usr/bin/vlc /home/chrisbartels/Music/Playlists/SomaFM.xspf &
/usr/bin/vlc /home/chrisbartels/Music/Playlists/SomaFM.xspf &
vlc /home/chrisbartels/Music/Playlists/SomaFM.xspf &

Expected Behavior

App starts normally with the following values:

/usr/bin/vlc
exec /usr/bin/vlc /home/chrisbartels/Music/Playlists/SomaFM.xspf &
/usr/bin/vlc /home/chrisbartels/Music/Playlists/SomaFM.xspf &
vlc /home/chrisbartels/Music/Playlists/SomaFM.xspf &
