Package: smart-notifier Version: 0.24-1 Severity: wishlist The freedesktop.org autostart-spec provides a mechanism by which per-session daemons can be registered to be started automatically when a user logs in. Basically this involves creating a .desktop file for smart-notifier and dropping it into /etc/xdg/autostart. Further details are available from <http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/>.
This will ensure that smart-notifier is started for the users of GNOME (2.14, according to <http://www.gnome.org/start/2.14/notes/en/rndevelopers.html>), KDE, XFCE and possibly Rox, as well as any other desktop environment that implements the spec. It's worth thinking about what happens if two users run smart-notifier at the same time. Both should recieve the message; is this what currently happens? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (530, 'testing'), (520, 'unstable'), (510, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages smart-notifier depends on: ii python2.4 2.4.1-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python2.4-dbus 0.61-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii python2.4-glade2 2.8.2-3 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python2.4-gtk2 2.8.2-3 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge ii smartmontools 5.33+5.34cvs20050802-4 control and monitor storage system -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
