Description Vincent Untz 2007-05-09 16:28:55 UTC 
If you have the session properties capplet opened and a new application installs a .desktop file for autostart, it doesn't automatically appear in the list. It really should (monitoring with gnome-vfs, etc.)
Comment 1 Jared Moore 2008-02-08 03:57:20 UTC 
On a related note, perhaps it should also monitor ~/.config/autostart for file changes/deletions/etc ?
Comment 2 Vincent Untz 2009-06-21 15:16:57 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
