[Spice-devel] [vdagent-linux] Fix gdm autostart path

[Marc-André Lureau]

This change now triggers some warnings and selinux errors on f20:

Feb 26 14:36:12 localhost.localdomain spice-vdagent[833]: warning
could not get file xfer save dir, using cwd



Feb 26 14:36:14 localhost.localdomain setroubleshoot[835]: SELinux is
preventing /usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd from search access on the
directory 833. For complete SELinux messages

Perhaps we should consider a --nohome or --gdm option?
