remark about some Desktop session processes

[Patrice Duroux <patrice.duroux@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a system with both Sway and GNOME sessions available.

But if I log in using a GNOME one, I can see the process like:

patrice     3866  0.0  0.0  18824 14212 ?        Ss   19:07   0:00
/usr/bin/foot --server=3

$ apt-file search --fixed-string /usr/bin/foot
foot: /usr/bin/foot
$ apt --installed rdepends foot
foot
Reverse Depends:
  Recommande: sway
  Recommande: sway

Similarly I have the following messages in system log:

(see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1027069)

Is there a nice way to not mix-up those session specific services?
