Session and Startup Application Autostart tab does not allow editing personal overrides of system autostart files
If /etc/xdg/autostart/foo.desktop
exists, the Session and Startup Autostart tab shows that item in the list but does not allow editing or removing it. Ideally it would (with any edit creating a copy of the file in ~/.config/autostart
and putting the edits there), but that is more of a feature request than a bug.
If /etc/xdg/autostart/foo.desktop
and ~/.config/autostart/foo.desktop
both already exist, then xfce4-session
correctly uses ~/.config/autostart/foo.desktop
and ignores /etc/xdg/autostart/foo.desktop
at startup; however, the control panel still refuses to edit ~/.config/autostart/foo.desktop
, which it should allow (though if the override mechanism is not properly implemented, it should probably still disable the remove button); it seems like a bug to me for this to not work since the actual editing mechanism is the same as for personal-only (as opposed to personal-override) autostart items.
