I changed the description based on our discussion. Is this ubuntu specific or should it be filed upstream?
** Description changed: How to reproduce: 1. Run gnome-session-properties (or alternatively via session indicator run "Startup applications..." 2. Add Tomboy (via the add button) What happens: Well, Tomboy is added and runs the next logon. But the icon is not visible nor is it possible to add it manually. What should happen: Well, I would like to see an icon next to Tomboy, as I see for example for System load applet Proposed solution (based on discussion with Sebastian Bacher in the comments to this bug): - Use - - See attached screenshot for how it looks like (applications with icons - were added in 11.04 and earlier I think) + 1. Use gtk software selector (gui used by nautilus to set default programs to open certain file types) for adding programs to startup applications. + 2. Hint the user somehow that she can drag and drop icons from unity + 3: It should still be possible to add custom commnands (i.e. this_awesome_script_that_does_not_have_a_.desktop_dile), i think it is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/894831 + See attached screenshot for how it looks like (applications with icons were added in 11.04 and earlier I think) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: gnome-session-bin 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-13.22-generic 3.0.6 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Nov 26 18:44:44 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) SourcePackage: gnome-session UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/896631 Title: Startup applications (aka gnome-session-properties ) should use the gtk software selector and should hint about the possibility to drag applications from the dash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/896631/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
