** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-do - After installing GNOME Do in Ubuntu 9.10, the "Start GNOME do at login" - preference is unchecked but Gnome Do starts at login anyway. + Description: + After installing GNOME Do in Ubuntu 9.10, the "Start GNOME do at login" preference is unchecked but Gnome Do starts at login anyway. - I believe this is caused because Gnome DO checks for an - "~/.config/autostart/" entry for setting the checkbox, and Ubuntu's - Package is adding an entry in "/etc/xdg/autostart/". + This is caused because when you run Gnome Do after the installation, + there is no "gnome-do.desktop" file at "~/.config/autostart/". Gnome Do + will check for that file to set the "Start GNOME do at login" + preference. Given that there is no file, the check box will remain + unchecked, but Gnome Do will start at login anyway because of the + desktop file in "/etc/xdg/autostart" deployed during the installation by + our package. + + Steps to reproduce: + * Close gnome-do + * ~$ killall gnome-do + * Remove the autostart file (if any) + * ~$ rm ~/.config/autostart/gnome-do.desktop + * Open "Startup Applications" utility + * ~$ gnome-session-properties & + * Open "GNOME Do" + * ~$ gnome-do & + * Open "GNOME Do Preferences" window + + Expected Behavior: + * In "Startup Applications" window, "GNOME Do" is listed as an additional startup program. This is caused because "GNOME Do" package creates an startup file in the system-wide autostart in "/etc/xdg/autostart". + * "Start GNOME DO at login" check is checked, because "GNOME Do" will start at login as described above. + + Observed Behavior: + * In "Startup Applications" window, "GNOME Do" is listed as an additional startup program. + * "Start GNOME DO at login" check is UNCHECKED, even if "GNOME Do" is started at login as described above. + ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Jul 11 20:36:07 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: gnome-do 0.8.1.3+dfsg-1 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-2.17-generic SourcePackage: gnome-do Uname: Linux 2.6.31-2-generic i686
