Hi Martin, It looks like you're the author of this patch [1], adding "X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=8" to pulseaudio.desktop. While trying to package a new version of PulseAudio (2.99.1), it seems like upstream has added a conflicting change [2], by adding "X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=Initialization" to pulseaudio.desktop. I don't know much about this, so what is your suggestion? Of course we want a speedy desktop startup :-) -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. https://launchpad.net/~diwic [1] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/pulseaudio/ubuntu.raring/view/head:/debian/patches/0008-delay-gnome-autostart.patch [2] http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/src/daemon/pulseaudio.desktop.in?id=1a6c9dc0a4f695764d48f06ac17ced42b7432499
