[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#975710: flatpak: Starts gvfs-daemon when logging in as root

[Mourad De Clerck]

Package: flatpak
Version: 1.8.3-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

When I log into my machine with ssh as root, gvfs-daemon is indirectly started
by flatpak using DBUS activation, in root's systemd user session.

Maybe consider this patch for /etc/profile.d/flatpak.sh ?
