Package: volumeicon-alsa
Version: 0.4.6-2.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

it would be great if this package could provide a .desktop file, which
makes it easier to start. Also, this allows simply linking or copying
the desktop file into ~/.config/autostart to make the application
autostart.

Perhaps it's even better if a desktop file is provided in
/etc/xdg/autostart, so the application autostarts when installed, though
that might conflict with existing volume handling tools (depending on
the X session type chosen).

notify-osd has a similar problem and seems to handle this by adding
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false to make it disabled by default, but it
seems that newer gnome versions don't have any obvious way to enable
disabled startup items like this one again (there is
gnome-session-properties, but that is removed in gnome 3.12 AFAIU.


Just providing a desktop file in /usr/share/applications would help in
any case. This will allow using gnome-tweak-tool (which seems to be the
de facto tool for gnome customization) to add volumeicon to the list of
startup applications by picking it from a list.

Gr.

Matthijs
