[Bug 896631] Re: Startup applications (aka gnome-session-properties ) should use the gtk software selector

 

Renaming the bug I think one change that would improve the logic is to
use the same selector you get in nautilus when you right click and
select "open with", that dialog browses .desktop files and it's usually
what you want.

We should also put some text in the session properties list background
to indicate that you can drag and drop for the unity dash

Title:
  Startup applications (aka  gnome-session-properties ) should use the
  gtk software selector

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  How to reproduce:
  1. Run gnome-session-properties (or alternatively via session indicator run "Startup applications..."
  2. Add Tomboy

  What happens: 
  Well, Tomboy is added and runs the next logon. But the icon is not visible. 

  What should happen:
  Well, I would like to see an icon next to Tomboy, as I see for example for System load applet

  I am not sure this is a bug in gnome-session-properties, but most of
  my applications do not have an icon so clearly something is wrong here
  (I suspect only applications that added themselves have icons) See
  attache screenshot.
