[Bug 460746] Re: ~/.config/autostart and /etc/xdg/autostart ignored
Timing issue, confirmed too. In my case startup script looks like this: #!/bin/bash sleep 10 xinput --set-button-map Laser Mouse 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 8 9 empathy -h start-skype.sh but without sleep does nothing.

Update to previously written findings: Empathy starts ok (occasionally with wrong notification Password required, see bug #840875) but skype doesn't start ever. When I have tried some zenity dialogs into script, they didn't show, but empathy has started: #!/bin/bash sleep 10 xinput --set-button-map Laser Mouse 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 8 9 empathy -h zenity --display=:0 --info --text=Starting Skype... start-skype.sh Very strange...

[Bug 460746] Re: ~/.config/autostart and /etc/xdg/autostart ignored
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.
