Public bug reported:
I found some annoyances while trying the new KDE 4.1 in Ubuntu Intrepid:
- When I started the KDE4 session, many applications launched
automatically (AWN was especially annoying since it does not behaves
well with the KDE 4 compositor). They are located in ~/.config/autostart
so you cannot enable/disable them in a session-specific way. Therefore,
I had to backup this directory and remove the GNOME-only entries.
- When I switched back to my GNOME session, some KDE applications
launched automatically (Kwallet, etc.) so I had to repeat the previous
step but removing the links to KDE applications this time.
Currently, every time I want to check the progress of the newly released
KDE packages I have to modify the contents of the directory, change the
session, modify the directory again and switch back to the GNOME
session. That is preventing people from having both Desktop Environments
installed in the same machine or using isolated applications from the
other Desktop Environment.
How could this be fixed?
