>>> platform.dist()
('fedora', '21', 'Twenty One')

This will go wrong in so many ways :)

Why? Ubuntu version always seem to be a float number.
Please give a more robust fragment of code then. Because it is not working currectly now.
both unity_hide and unity_dock get wrong value.

Well at first you would want to check if you are on ubuntu or not, because float(21) > 12.10 and that can be the case for many other OS.

But in general, I am not in favor of adding distro-specific pieces of code if we can avoid it.

Ah, missed the check before for the DESKTOP_SESSION, I actually wonder if we would not want to replace it with a check using platform.

The original code has if os.environ.get('DESKTOP_SESSION') == "ubuntu":, which didn't show up in diff view. these changes is under the condition that it is a ubuntu now.

The original code already a platform-specific solution. I'm just making it work. I'd like that you give a better way.

OK, what is the python way to do it then. I'm a python amateur.

I'm fairly sure dconf has a python API.

i'll check that but I remember that there was some dependencies problem... so I ended up executing this command for other use case :(

that's a chicken and egg problem. This should be handled by the packager (for debian, for rehat, ...). But, as a User, I want to be able to use Guake directly from source. And as a Maintainer, I don't want packager to introduce regression in my software.... So I don't see how to handle distribution specific stuff differently.

Maybe a good thing to do is to move this trick in a spefic module so distribution hack are better identified
