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? ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Freedesktop's autostart makes (almost) impossible having both KDE4 and GNOME installed in the same machine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255342 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
