awesome: add DesktopNames and xdg-desktop-portal config
awesome does not currently set DesktopNames in its xsessions .desktop
entry, so XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is never set in the session. As a result,
xdg-desktop-portal finds no portal configuration for the session and
flatpak applications cannot use portals (OpenURI, FileChooser, etc.),
which breaks e.g. opening links from sandboxed applications.
This commit:
adds DesktopNames=awesome; to awesome.desktop (patch), so
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=awesome is set at login;
ships /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/awesome-portals.conf
(post_install + files/), selecting xdg-desktop-portal-gtk as the
default backend:
Testing:
xdg-open inside a flatpak sandbox opens URLs on the host as expected.
Note for users: the D-Bus session bus must receive the session
environment for portal backends to start (on setups where the bus is
started before X, e.g. dbus-update-activation-environment --all at
session start). This is session configuration, outside the scope of
this change.
