create user's autostart config directory if it doesn't already exist (1.74 KB, patch)

Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2006-03-09 20:47:07 UTC 
Right now gnome-session has some code in it to try to migrate a user's session-manual file over to the new autostart format.

The code fails if a user doesn't have a ~/.config/autostart directory.

create user's autostart config directory if it doesn't already exist

The above patch creates the autostart config dir if it doesn't already exist.  It also fixes the name of the filenames in case of conflict to always end in .desktop

I can confirm this bug.  I upgraded from 2.12 to 2.14 (debian unstable) and lost my session-manual file, and the .xsession-errors file had a list of items like the following:

(gnome-session:3988): WARNING **: Could not save /home/user/.config/autostart/ssh-add.desktop file.

I did not have a .config/autostart directory yet.
Comment 3 Rodrigo Moya 2006-06-12 11:07:51 UTC 
Yeah, this should be committed, it breaks the migration from the old setup
Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2006-06-12 19:11:01 UTC 
Thanks, I actually forgot about this.

commited to HEAD and gnome-2-14
