Package: gtk-redshift
Version: 1.7-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I looked at the README.Debian and followed the advice given therein.

/usr/share/doc/gtk-redshift$ cat README.Debian
Autostart of gtk-redshift
-------------------------

Autostart was removed from Debian package because of violation of
'Desktop Application
Autostart Specification' (see bug #619699). If you want gtk-redshift
autostarted please
configure this in your specific desktop environment (e.g. by placing
/usr/share/applications/gtk-redshift.desktop in
$HOME/$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-redshift/
(usually defaults to $HOME/.config/gtk-redshift).

Now I did put the autostart file in ~/.config/ .

$ cat gtk-redshift.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Redshift
GenericName=Color temperature adjustment
Comment=Color temperature adjustment tool
Exec=gtk-redshift
Icon=redshift
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;
StartupNotify=true

And I logged out and logged back in. No change in the situation.It
does work if I put an entry in Autostarted Applications in GNOME by
going via System Tools > Preferences > Startup Applications.

My idea of having it in ~/.config/ is/was that no matter which Desktop
Environment I may be in it should work.

This is my redshift.conf file as well.

~/.config$ cat redshift.conf
; Global settings for redshift
[redshift]
; Set the day and night screen temperatures
temp-day=5700
temp-night=3500

; Enable/Disable a smooth transition between day and night
; 0 will cause a direct change from day to night screen temperature.
; 1 will gradually increase or decrease the screen temperature
transition=1

; Set the screen brightness. Default is 1.0
;brightness=0.9
; It is also possible to use different settings for day and night
since version 1.8.
;brightness-day=0.7
;brightness-night=0.4
; Set the screen gamma (for all colors, or each color channel individually)
gamma=0.8
;gamma=0.8:0.7:0.8

; Set the location-provider: 'geoclue', 'gnome-clock', 'manual'
; type 'redshift -l list' to see possible values
; The location provider settings are in a different section.
location-provider=manual

; Set the adjustment-method: 'randr', 'vidmode'
; type 'redshift -m list' to see all possible values
; 'randr' is the preferred method, 'vidmode' is an older API
; but works in some cases when 'randr' does not.
; The adjustment method settings are in a different section.
adjustment-method=vidmode

; Configuration of the location-provider:
; type 'redshift -l PROVIDER:help' to see the settings
; ex: 'redshift -l manual:help'
[manual]
lat=18.5203
lon=73.8567

; Configuration of the adjustment-method
; type 'redshift -m METHOD:help' to see the settings
; ex: 'redshift -m randr:help'
; In this example, vidmode is configured to adjust screen 1.
; Note that the numbering starts from 0, so this is actually the second screen.
[vidmode]
screen=0

Looking forward to some solution.
