Hi,
I don't know much about XDG, but I was trying to figure out why every time I started up a desktop session (KDE) wicd-tray was being loaded, when I didn't want it to be. I couldn't find any reference to it in any of the KDE autostart directories.
Then I noticed that it has a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart, which is owned by wicd. I guess that I can delete the file, but that's a bit messy and it'll just get replaced when wicd gets upgraded anyway.
Is this really the right thing to do? Should that .desktop file be in the package or should it be up to the user to decide whether or not to load the GTK client?
Or is there another (preferred) way to disable it that I'm not aware of?
Thanks,
Pete.
There is a wicd-nogtk in the AUR, http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40430 which is probably the easiest solution, I swapped over with no probems, all configs and such are the same.
FWIW, on Gnome that directory seems ignored (at least wicd-gtk doesn't start up here). Pretty much par for the course for XDG complaince, then....
