Well, according to the XDG spec you can disable autostarting at the user level in a way that won't be overwritten by future updated:
> If an application autostarts by having a .desktop file installed in the system wide autostart directory, an individual user can disable the autotomatic start of this application by placing a .desktop file of the same name in its personal autostart directory which contains the key Hidden=true. I believe my point still stands, though, since this require manual intervention to revert an arguably incoherent default configuration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution-data-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1901236 Title: Getting notifications twice Status in evolution-data-server package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I would like to revisit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /evolution-data-server/+bug/1805666 For years, I've been closing both the "modern" notification popup and the "classic" popup window at the same time, many times a day. This is really annoying. The only way of disabling this is to remove or modify a desktop file that will be overwritten with the next package update. Isn't it time to remove /etc/xdg/autostart/org.gnome.Evolution-alarm- notify.desktop ? Or is this an upstream issue ?
