Yes, sounds like a good idea to me, shall I write a spec for it?

Please! :)

I would also like to include in the spec:
* autostarting applications on mounted media (see gnome-volume-manager)

Yes, that would be really nice!


* dependencies between autostarting applications

Well, that could be coded in the scripts, but feel free to add it if you'd like.


And what about:
* support for setting environment vars?

Already done in ~/.bashrc.. Am I missing something?

* support for shutdown scripts?

That is really nice :) and usefull!




So the ~/.config/autostart/ could be instead ~/.config/actions/, for instance, and inside it you could get:

startup/          --startup scripts
shutdown/      --shutdown scripts
other/          --mounted media, other events, etc

of course, it would be more interesting if these dirs were chosen by the user, and there was a file in ~/.config/actions/ where the specific events were mapped to specific scripts/dirs and so..

This is getting interesting! :D

Cheers,
Waldo
