Bug ID: 493907
Summary: Autostart KCM silently encloses arguments containing
variables in quotations, breaking variable expansion
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.1.5
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_autostart
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: stev...@runbox.com
CC: nicolas.fe...@gmx.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Using daemon+cdemu as an example:
Args entered in autostart kcm "application arguments" (.desktop file properties
editor):
--bind --respawn --pidfiles=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR --name=cdemu /usr/bin/cdemu-daemon
Displayed after closing/saving entry and reopening:
--bind --respawn '--pidfiles=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR' --name=cdemu
/usr/bin/cdemu-daemon
Resulting arguments from 'ps':
--bind --respawn --pidfiles=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR --name=cdemu /usr/bin/cdemu-daemon
Manually edited .desktop file:
--bind --respawn --pidfiles=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR --name=cdemu /usr/bin/cdemu-daemon
Resulting arguments from 'ps':
--bind --respawn --pidfiles=/run/user/1004 --name=cdemu /usr/bin/cdemu-daemon
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add an argument containing a variable expansion to an autostart .desktop
file using the properties editor in the autostart kcm.
2. Observe generated .desktop file and resulting command-line executed during
plasma startup.
OBSERVED RESULT
.desktop properties editor silently adds single quotes when saving file.
EXPECTED RESULT
.desktop properties editor does what I tell it to, and doesn't silently
"correct" arguments containing variable expansions.
