This bug appears to apply to RHEL5 also. Correct behavior is defined in http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-0.5.html KDE works as expected on other distros, for example Novell SLES10, with a slightly older version of KDE. Was Portland autostart support deliberately disabbled? If so, why? After a bit of checking, KDE 3 (and probably KDE 4) does not honour the autostart spec at all. KDE 3 will use $KDEDIRS/autostart, $KDEHOME/share/autostart, and $KDEHOME/Autostart exclusively. So anything placed in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart) should be added to one of the KDE autostart directories, or KDE's behavior can be changed with a patch. |
