Do we have any recommendations for this? Should I remove it or leave it to the user to deactivate the autostarting of nagstamon by removing the corresponding .desktop file?
Per XDG specifications, it is not necessary to remove the file in /etc/xdg/autostart to deactivate .desktop files resident there: the user need only place a .desktop file with the same name in $HOME/.config/autostart with the attribute Hidden=true and any XDG compliant autostart mechanism will ignore that file. ---end quoted text---
Great. In my opinion, if autostart is not critical for package, maintainer should just set Hidden=true in his package's .desktop file. If user insists on enabling autostart, he can copy that file to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart (as per specification [1] "only the Hidden key in the most important .desktop file must be considered"). Tools are happy. [1]: http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html#i... -- My AUR packages - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=AlexanderR
