Hello there, CentOS6.7 64-bit up-to-date running on my laptop.. This night I had to restart (did it properly). Since then, my ~/.config/autostart/ contains some new broken .desktop files and /var/log/messages complains: gnome-session[7280]: WARNING: Could not parse desktop file /home/wwp/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-daemon.desktop: Key file does not have key 'Name' gnome-session[7280]: WARNING: could not read /home/wwp/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-daemon.desktop [snip] the log tells the same story about other desktop files: gnome-settings-daemon gnome-settings-daemon-helper gnome-power-manager gnome-screensaver gdu-notification-daemon at-spi-registryd user-dirs-update-gtk seahorse-daemon evolution-alarm-notify xfce4-settings-helper-autostart xfce4-notes-autostart IOW, stuff that sounds a bit critical from a GNOME desktop user PoV, explaining my concern. ALl the new broken .desktop files show the same date (Jul 3, 2014) and seem to be related to default services (/etc/xdg/autostart) that should normally NOT be there, as least from what I see on other similar systems running here. The services related to those files are NOT present anymore in my "Startup Applications Preferences", and I start wondering if the broken local desktop files are not shadowing system ones (that seem to run fine, according to `ps ax` and to my running GNOME desktop, showing no defect). I show you the contents of one of them, representative: ==== [Desktop Entry] X-XFCE-Autostart-Override=false Hidden=true ==== On another CentOS 6.7 box, I notice that those services (gnome keyring, at spi registry wrapper, etc.) are present in the "Startup Applications Preferences" but NOT in ~/.config/autostart/, so I assume that default system things are taken into account there. BTW, my user desktop settings are NOT to "automatically remember running applications when logging out". I have a complete backup of the system after last reboot (and a differential backup from one day ago), so I'm not risking anything apparently, but does anybody understand what happened? Is it safe to remove those broken desktop files are relogin my user? Regards, -- wwp
