Description of problem: knetworkmanager does not place a .desktop file in $KDEDIRS/share/autostart causing it to not always appear in the systray applet on login. knetworkmanager's .desktop is in $KDEDIRS/share/autostart while running the F7 livecd and it has the required entries for KDE to autostart it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): knetworkmanager-0.1-0.9.svn20070409.fc7 (I chose kdenetwork as the component because knetworkmanager is not yet in the list.) How reproducible: With a fresh user created, knetworkmanager does appear to start. Upon restoring my existing /home partition and user, knetworkmanager fails to start. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login, knetworkmanager icon is not present in the systray. 2. Find it on the menu and start it. Icon appears in the systray, configuration set to start at login. 3.Re-login and note the absence of knetworkmanager's icon in the systray. Actual results: knetworkmanager refuses to start with KDE even after checking the associated checkbox in the app's configuration tool. Expected results: knetworkmanager should start at login if configured to do so. Additional info: I've noticed kpowersave (also start-able at login) does place a .desktop file in $KDEDIRS/share/autostart. Simply copying /usr/share/applications/fedora-knetworkmanager.desktop to /usr/share/autostart/knetworkmanager-autostart.desktop works for me. I've also been told Novell/SuSE include /usr/share/autostart/knetworkmanager-autostart.desktop in their packages.
Kerry Beagle does not start too.
may be related to bug #243611 Doncho, probably worth filing a separate bug against kerry.
I'd like to confirm that this bug (knetworkmanager not starting with your session) is affecting me as well. Fedora 7, knetworkmanager-0.1-0.9.svn20070409.fc7.
Tried out the knetworkmanger-0.2 koji build, and it actually started with my kde session! Looks like we have a winner.
knetworkmanager-0.2-0.1.svn20070815.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
You might want to add "OnlyShowIn=KDE;" to the desktop file in /usr/share/autostart since Gnome has its own panel.
knetworkmanager-0.2-0.1.svn20070815.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
