But can I ask a basic layman question..
How come the autostart file is in a root-only location like
/usr/share/autostart or /etc/xdg/autostart?
Shouldn't it be in a ordinary-user-writable location instead?
Otherwise, how come an ordinary user starting KOrganizer gets
permissions to install an auto-start file in these root-only locations?
And if one user chooses to autostart KOrganizer, won't it be enabled for
other users too?
Your suggestion is one possible implementation, but ...
the way it currently works is that the autostart .desktop file includes a
special key to conditionally start or not.
for example, korganizer's korgac.desktop includes:
X-KDE-autostart-condition=korgacrc:General:Autostart:true
which means it'll only start if ~/.kde/share/config/korgacrc [General]
section includes a key
Autostart=true
Oh. OK. So the application at the time of install creates a global
autostart file in those root-only locations.
Then there is a per-user file which actually enables autostart for that
user.
Interesting.. Never knew this. Thanks for the info.

Syam
