Description Will Woods 2007-10-02 20:46:34 UTC

With bluez-gnome-0.14-5.fc8, bluetooth-applet is not started at login. The desktop file in /etc/xdg/gnome/autostart does not show up in the session list like the items in /etc/xdg/autostart. Copying bluetooth-applet.desktop to /etc/xdg/autostart seems to make it start up as expected.

Comment 1 Will Woods 2007-10-02 20:55:12 UTC

As it stands, the Bluetooth Preferences is supposed to determine the behavior of
the applet (Always/Never show etc), but since the applet is never started, this
doesn't work at all. So we should be starting it by default.

I realize that starting the applet on systems where there's no bluetooth
hardware is sub-optimal. Someday we should have a smart way of determining when
to load the applet, but until then it's easy enough to disable from the Sessions
menu.

Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2007-10-02 21:19:58 UTC

No, the point is that I moved the desktop file so it's only auto-started under
GNOME, as KDE has their own Bluetooth applet-y kind of thing, and I was told by
upstream that it should only be started under GNOME (see bug #258721)

Moving to gnome-session, as
%{_sysconfdir}/xdg/gnome/autostart/bluetooth-applet.desktop should get started
automatically.

Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-10-03 00:59:44 UTC

why should /etc/xdg/gnome/autostart do that?  Was this decided somewhere?

Right now, we already have /usr/share/gnome/autostart and /etc/xdg/autostart . 
If you use the former, or put OnlyShowIn=GNOME; and use the latter, do you get
the behavior you want?

Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2007-10-03 10:12:31 UTC

See gsm_autostart_read_desktop_files() in gsm-autostart.c

But I didn't see system_dirs getting reassigned the retval of
g_get_system_data_dirs() (great variable name :( )

I'll move it to /usr/share/gnome/autostart
