Quote:Linux: Added a check for the the program 'wmctrl' which is a external dependency, check can be disabled in addon settings (eg for SteamOS users running XBMC in its own session)
Addon will exit if the addon settings are opened via the script, so any changes can be reloaded.

Since youve replace the steamos session with the XBMC session you are running XBMC as the steam user (as opposed to the method in my guide where XBMC runs as the desktop user). You may be able to get your method working, but I think it would be a lot of work - it would be easier and you would change less of the underlying operating system to leave the steamos session as is and change lightdm to autologin to the desktop user/modified gnome session instead of the steamos session.
