It's not the fact that there is a line disabling autostart that puzzled me, it was the fact that the file was removed altogether when PA did get autostarted so then what caused start-pulseaudio-x11 to be run? > Look also in /etc/xdg/autostart/ and at > http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html > This provides the answer. "If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS are not set and the two files /etc/xdg/autostart/foo.desktop and ~/.config/autostart/foo.desktop exist then only the file ~/.config/autostart/foo.desktop will be used because ~/.config/autostart/ is more important than /etc/xdg/autostart/" So when ~/.config/pulseaudio.desktop is removed, /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop is used instead and this file contains the start-pulseaudio-x11. Do you have any links to more information about autostart? For instance, how does it interact with GDM?
