I'm talking about ~/.config/autostart in VM.
It is handled at VM startup (or more precisely - when GUI connects).
Yes, this do mean it is executed only if someone is logged in to dom0.

There is even an example...
Ah, you mean possible values for OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn? Indeed it isn't
documented anywhere, I think. But you can look at a lot of examples
there. Possible values:
- X-QUBES - any VM
- X-AppVM - any AppVM (excludes TemplateVM, ProxyVM, NetVM)
- X-NetVM
- X-ProxyVM
- X-TemplateVM
- X-UpdateableVM (TemplateVM or StandaloneVM)
- X-NonUpdateableVM (template based VMs)

I see solaar fedora package comes with a file in /etc/xdg/autostart. So
in fact you want to _disable_ it in non-sys-usb VMs, right?
So two steps:
1. Disable it everywhere:
/etc/qubes/autostart/solaar.desktop.d/30_qubes.conf:
[Desktop Entry]
NotShowIn=X-QUBES;
2. Enable it in sys-usb:
ln -s /etc/xdg/autostart/solaar.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
The second one works because overrides in /etc/qubes/autostart are
applied only to files in /etc/xdg/autostart and not ~/.config/autostart
(as indicated in README).
