Bug ID: 430522
Summary: Re-add the ability do disable applications from
autostarting
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.20.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_autostart
Assignee: nicolas.fe...@gmx.de
Reporter: model...@outlook.com.au
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
For Plasma 5.20 the Autostart KCM was rewritten -
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/31.
As part of this, the ability to disable certain applications from autostart was
removed, and instead, you can only remove them entirely.
However, this creates an issue with applications (e.g. Microsoft Teams) that
will recreate the autostart shortcut every launch, and do not allow you to turn
that feature off in the app. These apps will need to be removed every start.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an app (e.g. Microsoft Teams) that creates an autostart shortcut
2. Remove it using the KCM
3. Open the app again, it gets added back
OBSERVED RESULT
App will again start on startup.
EXPECTED RESULT
App will never start on startup.
