Description Miles Sabin 2007-11-16 10:09:44 UTC

Description of problem:
A recent change in the KDE packages (see mention in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=247284) means that all KDE sessions
start the puplet applet whether it's wanted or not. Removing pirut is not
currently an option because it is depended on by system-config-printer. In any
case, the choice of desktop-specific applets should not be determined by
system-wide configuration.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pirut-1.3.23-1.fc7

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install pirut
2. Log in to a KDE desktop
3.
  
Actual results:
puplet is autostarted.

Expected results:
puplet should not be autostarted unless configured to do so by the
logged in user.

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2007-11-16 16:06:06 UTC

/etc/xdg/autostart is the right place.  GNOME allows for users to opt-in or out
of the autostarted applications.  If you _don't_ put it there, then the user has
to know it exists to start it which sucks.

Comment 2 Miles Sabin 2007-11-17 20:23:05 UTC

How am I supposed to opt out in KDE? The only method I can see is, as root,

 root@frege:~# rm /etc/xdg/autostart/puplet.desktop

Any pointers would be most welcome.
