Bug ID: 468834
Summary: wish: Delayed autostart of an application per user
Classification: Applications

Version: unspecified

Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_autostart
Assignee: nicolas.fe...@gmx.de
Reporter: kde-...@schiermeier-it.de

I would like to have the option to choose a delay in seconds when starting up
an app/script/somethingelse via "Autostart".
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Devuan GNU/Linux 5
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0

Memory: 62.7 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660/PCIe/SSE2
Some applications need a completely loaded and activated environment to start.
This shouldn't be necessary, but ok - it happens. Others should wait until I'm
also in place. Here are some examples for use cases:
1.) The Google Drive: if it starts with autostart, it will crash or stall
2.) Or to start my mail program one minute after login
I know this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456332 but seems not to be
convenient.
Also, I know a similar feature from Gnome and Cinnamon:

Gnome has the "X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=3" in Desktop files which reside in the
user's "autostart" folder (~/.config/autostart) to manage the delayed start of
individual applications. This would be nice also in KDE/plasma.
