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).
