>I fail to see how this would help, if a sandboxed application want to

- it always cant (bad user experience)
- it always can (as of now)
- ask the user (as proposed here)


It is as follows:
 - app can't write in our autostart directory
 - they call a portal implementation to request autostart
 - we show a prompt and install the file

This is upstream in the portals as
https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/master/data/org.freedesktop.portal.Background.xml
(though with some extra stuff about detecting backgrounded apps)

and we have a KDE implementation already within
xdg-desktop-portal-kde/background.cpp 

BackgroundPortal::EnableAutostart doesn't look like we prompt currently. I
would 100% support adding any UI code there.

Killer difference with this is that we're not trying to do it retroactively
react but we position the workspace into a controlled flow.
