Bug ID: 455889
Summary: Parse autostarted .desktop files and display any
errors in the UI
Product: systemsettings
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_autostart
Assignee: nicolas.fe...@gmx.de
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
When using Systemd boot, the XDG .desktop file parser is used, and it's
stricter than what we use in KDE, so some slightly malformed .desktop files
fail to pass vlaidation and their apps no longer autostart, without any error
message or explanation.
Even if the XDG parser is changed to be less strict, we should still parse the
.desktop file for anything in the KCM and display errors to the user there, so
that they know which of the entries there will fail to autostart, why, and who
is to blame.
