Description of problem: The desktop-printing applet fails to open when starting a KDE session. As far as I know, this will be changed via a patch, allowing KDE to look in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart (/etc/xdg/autostart). I've made some minor changes to redhat-print-applet.desktop to allow it to start successfully under a KDE session. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a KDE session Actual results: Note that the foo.desktop files placed in /etc/xdg/autostart aren't seen when KDE starts and the apps they reference are not started. Moving them to a location where they are seen by a KDE session results in undesirable behavior. Expected results: The desktop files in the system-wide autostart directory should start without major issues. Additional info: The attached patch adds: StartupNotify=false X-KDE-autostart-after=panel StartupNotify allows the applet to start under a KDE session without displaying KDE's app start up notification icon. X-KDE-autostart-after=panel allows the applet to start after KDE's panel (kicker), preventing a race between the panel and the applet.

Thanks. Fixed in system-config-printer (which now contains that applet) for devel.
