Description Orion Poplawski 2009-04-24 16:44:54 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

If a .desktop file in .config/autostart or .kde/Autostart has NoDisplay=true in it, KDE does not autostart it.

This is not seem correct as per the desktop file specs:

http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html
http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-0.5.html

I confirm. Same problem for me using KDE 4.2.2 on a Mandriva 2009.1 with updates up to 2009-June-08

Anybody have any patches or possible fixes?

Works for me when using KDE SC 4.8 beta2. Feel free to reopen if it still happens in recent version .
