A dubt about XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. Since boinc-client runs as a

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP defined in other users sessions. Therefore IMHO I
need another kind of solution
So the question isn't what desktop the user is using, but rather what
desktops, if any, other users on the machine are using. Have you
confirmed that you're able to query another user's desktop session once
you know which desktop it is? The ability to do such things should be
quite limited for security reasons, even though Boinc has a legitimate
use case.
