Hi, I tested this on my system and I noticed that both plasma-desktop and plasma-netbook can autostart without having any plasma-*.desktop file in /usr/share/autostart. I wonder how this happens and why it doesn't work on your system, Brendon. Scott, do you know any more details about how this is handled? I am still not convinced about why this patch solves the problem. Best regards, George -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
