Title:
gnome-session-properties should filter by NoDisplay
Status in The GNOME 2 Session Manager:
Fix Released
Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-session
gnome-session-properties should filter by the NoDisplay key[1]. For
all the same reasons it makes sense in menus, it makes sense for
autostart.
With NoDisplay, one can install programs that run when the user logs
in, but that the user should not be allowed to disable easily. Things
that would break their setup if they disabled or just don't make sense
to disable.
As an example, I (in Ubuntu Intrepid) have both 'xdg-user-dirs-gtk-
update' and '/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login"
--description="GNOME Login"' in my list. Both should probably always
run or have other ways of being controlled. As a user, I don't really
desire to control whether they are autostarted or not. They are
'system-level' autostarts.
There is a patch in the upstream bug.
