When the greeter is ready but not focused, a notification displays “tails-greeter.py is ready”. The application should have a better name in this notification, such as “Welcome to Tails is ready”.

I think this requires porting GreeterApplication to GApplication/@GtkApplication@

This should be fixed by calling GLib.set_application_name early, but seems to work only randomly.

I’ve commited the best fix I can find, I think that the remaining problems are a bug outside of the greeter. Anyway I already spent too much time on that.

I’d rather not display any notification. This might be enough:

--- a/data/tails-greeter.desktop
+++ b/data/tails-greeter.desktop
@@ -4,3 +4,4 @@ Name=Tails Greeter
 Exec=tails-greeter
 X-GNOME-Provides=tails-greeter
 NoDisplay=true
+StartupNotify=false

I don’t dare re-opening this ticket, but seriously: what’s the value brought by this (half buggy) notification?

Done in Git, we’ll see if it helps.
