Hello,
I've received a complaint about nagstamon which installs a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart and that I should please not install stuff in xdg-autostart.
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?
Greetings, Christoph
I don't really see the problem if the package is intended to run as some kind of background process. Many packages install files to /etc/xdg/autostart (Think GNOME packages).
