I have the same bug: Programs supposedly called from the .desktop files in ~/.config/autostart do not run.
For example my "Update notifier" never runs, unless I start it manually. I found this when I added an entry to turn off capslock. This is the script that is called from the .desktop file: #!/bin/bash # Make capslock be shift # sleep 10 xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock" xmodmap -e "add Shift = Caps_Lock" It does NOT work, unless I uncomment the "sleep 10", so I think this is some sort of race-condition and xmodmap is being called before it can function properly. My kernel = 2.6.32-22-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP and 10.04 is up-to-date. -- ~/.config/autostart and /etc/xdg/autostart ignored https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460746 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
