Run gnome-session-properties (or alternatively via session indicator run "Startup applications..." 2. Add Tomboy (via the add button) What happens: Well, Tomboy is added and runs the next logon. But the icon is not visible nor is it possible to add it manually. What should happen: Well, I would like to see an icon next to Tomboy, as I see for example for System load applet Proposed solution (based on discussion with Sebastian Bacher in the comments to this bug): 1. Use gtk software selector (gui used by nautilus to set default programs to open certain file types) for adding programs to startup applications. 2. Hint the user somehow that she can drag and drop icons from unity 3: It should still be possible to add custom commnands (i.e. this_awesome_script_that_does_not_have_a_.desktop_dile), i think it is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/894831 See attached screenshot for how it looks like (applications with icons were added in 11.04 and earlier I think) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: gnome-session-bin 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-13.22-generic 3.0.6 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Nov 26 18:44:44 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) SourcePackage: gnome-session UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/896631/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
