I just wanted to complement Ken VanDine on his great suggestion! Adding some common applications to the "Startup Applications Preferences" menu, is an excellent way to make things easy for new users. The option to Auto-Start those applications can be disabled by default, but as long as it is easily accessible for a newbie user to enable, this problem is solved.
I noticed that the panel application "Weather Indicator" automatically inserts itself into the "Startup Applications Preferences" menu during installation, and hopefully in the future more and more applications will do the same. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/941463 Title: No way to set empathy to automatically start on login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/941463/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
