Re: New design: Opening applications and documents automatically at login

 

It would be nice if this panel could have option to start the application minimized - for example Empathy, Skype or Pidgin.

And a feature, which I think some users will find useful - startup applications added by system administrator (that cannot be deleted by ordinary user) - for example some scripts that will log something, or download something to the desktop.

Hi folks

For some people, it is useful to open particular applications or
documents every time they log in.

(For example, every day when I log in at work, I launch XChat,
Firefox, and a time sheet text document.)

Every version of Ubuntu has had a "Startup Applications" settings
window for choosing applications to open automatically at login.

Gnome 3 in Ubuntu 11.10 now has an integrated System Settings window
(gnome-control-center). But it does not yet integrate these particular
settings.

So, yesterday I finished a design for these settings in the System
Settings window. My design extends the existing "User Accounts" panel;
this avoids adding an extra panel, lets administrators troubleshoot
login items for other accounts, and lets them set items for the guest
account. It also allows opening files, not just applications.

I'd appreciate your feedback on the design.
