Opening this on the basis of this post on f.g.o: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8791739.html#8791739 The current login in gentoo-pipewire-launcher tries to avoid unnecessary restarts (in order to avoid unnecessary loss of audio output). However, this means that, with PW+WP instances not getting shut down at the end of an XDG session, they won't work with a new XDG session. Ideally PW+WP would get shut down during the termination of an XDG session. A quick search didn't immediately indicate any a standard place in which this can be done; is there one? But at any rate, it seems to me that the 'Exec' line in pipewire.desktop should be changed to: Exec=/usr/bin/gentoo-pipewire-launcher restart to ensure that session-appropriate PW+WP instances are available even if the previous XDG session was not terminated cleanly. Thoughts?
Another benefit from the restart feature. Sounds good. Gimme a patch to apply?
