http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2007-June/007874.html describes the patch that introduced this. User= and Group= specify the user and group to execute the Exec= line as. User is documented in git master (1.7.6). This is the first time I'd heard of Group, and I'm a D-Bus maintainer... it exists in bus/desktop-file.h, but isn't actually used for anything (system services get the User's gid and supplementary groups, according to the equivalent of `getent passwd` and `getent group`). I'd accept a patch that deleted the #define for Group, if anyone cares enough. Created attachment 87314 [details] [review] [PATCH] Remove unused key-word of DBus .service file |
