Desktop.Type (gb.qt4)

Return the current desktop environment name.

Here a list of possible return values:

• KDE

• GNOME

• MATE

• ENLIGHTENMENT

• WINDOWMAKER

• XFCE

• ...

If the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable is defined, the first element of its contents is returned.

Otherwise several heuristics are used for detecting the current desktop: for example, checking the KDE_FULL_SESSION environment variable for KDE desktops, checking the GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID environmental variable for Gnome desktops, and so on.
