[Bug 398303] Re: GNOME Do is starting at login, but "Start GNOME Do at login" checkbox is unmarked

[Manuel Muradás]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-do
  
- After installing GNOME Do in Ubuntu 9.10, the "Start GNOME do at login"
- preference is unchecked but Gnome Do starts at login anyway.
+ Description:
+ After installing GNOME Do in Ubuntu 9.10, the "Start GNOME do at login" preference is unchecked but Gnome Do starts at login anyway.
  
- I believe this is caused because Gnome DO checks for an
- "~/.config/autostart/" entry for setting the checkbox, and Ubuntu's
- Package is adding an entry in "/etc/xdg/autostart/".
+ This is caused because when you run Gnome Do after the installation,
+ there is no "gnome-do.desktop" file at "~/.config/autostart/". Gnome Do
+ will check for that file to set the "Start GNOME do at login"
+ preference. Given that there is no file, the check box will remain
+ unchecked, but Gnome Do will start at login anyway because of the
+ desktop file in "/etc/xdg/autostart" deployed during the installation by
+ our package.
+ 
+ Steps to reproduce:
+  * Close gnome-do
+    * ~$ killall gnome-do
+  * Remove the autostart file (if any)
+    * ~$ rm ~/.config/autostart/gnome-do.desktop
+  * Open "Startup Applications" utility
+    * ~$ gnome-session-properties &
+  * Open "GNOME Do"
+    * ~$ gnome-do &
+  * Open "GNOME Do Preferences" window
+ 
+ Expected Behavior:
+  * In "Startup Applications" window, "GNOME Do" is listed as an additional startup program. This is caused because "GNOME Do" package creates an startup file in the system-wide autostart in "/etc/xdg/autostart".
+  * "Start GNOME DO at login" check is checked, because "GNOME Do" will start at login as described above.
+ 
+ Observed Behavior:
+  * In "Startup Applications" window, "GNOME Do" is listed as an additional startup program.
+  * "Start GNOME DO at login" check is UNCHECKED, even if "GNOME Do" is started at login as described above.
