Question about 4.7.3

Re: Question about 4.7.3

EDIT: the main problem with your method is that package upgrades will put the files back in (but won't affect disabling in the rc-files)

Yep, I noticed the files returned after today's upgrade. I hadn't thought about the link between the autostart-condition stanzas and the related rc files, thanks.

Re: Question about 4.7.3

You don't really need to do that with these files, these desktop files have the
"X-KDE-autostart-condition" stanzas which allows for the autostarting to be disabled in their rc files, for example, the nepomuk .desktop files have:

X-KDE-autostart-condition=nepomukserverrc:Basic Settings:Start Nepomuk:true

Which means "start this service unless disabled in nepomukserverrc (~/.kde/share/config/nepomukserverrc, section [Basic Settings], option [Start Nepomuk])".

Thanks for this - I reinstalled kdepim-runtime to put the akonadi tray symlink back in autostart and then just commented out

Exec=akonaditray

since X-KDE-autostart-condition doesn't exist in that file.

Thanks!

Yes, that's a problem with some of the .desktop files (like the printer-applet.desktop file). You could put it in manually, but editing these desktop files is rather pointless since they will get changed back once the package is upgraded.

However, you can also override the global desktop files by creating (or copying) the desktop files into ~/.config/autostart/.

For example, this should create a .desktop file to disable akonaditray from starting:

echo "[Desktop Entry]\nHidden=true" > ~/.config/autostart/akonaditray.desktop

Since this is also a user setting, package upgrades won't change that.

Re: Question about 4.7.3

Yup. That worked better.

I put akonaditray.desktop back the way it was and put the setting in my home autostart as well and akonaditray didn't start. Much better solution.

Thanks again

Re: Question about 4.7.3

So a setting entry of "Hidden=true" actually prevents the thing from running? I would have imagined that it ran but without displaying an icon in the system tray -- thus, hidden.

Yes

I would have imagined that it ran but without displaying an icon in the system tray -- thus, hidden.

The name of the "Hidden" key is slightly misleading, see the spec for description.
