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.
