Description Christoph Langner 2014-04-17 19:06:51 UTC 
I installed Gnome 3.12 in Arch Linux. In Gnome 3.10 and earlier it was possible to use gnome-session-properties to create autostart for your own commands during login. The problem: gnome-session-properties is gone...

$ pacman -Ql gnome-session | grep gnome-session-properties

...returns nothing. A Fedora-User with GNOME 3.12 reports the same problem http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=298194 Since the autostart feature from the the tweak tools handles only autostarts of programs with .desktop-files, how are users supposed to autostart their own commands?

Hi this feature got moved from gnome-session-properties to gnome-tweak-tool.  see bug 708923 for more details.
Comment 2 Christoph Langner 2014-04-17 19:43:48 UTC 
Hi Ray, but as I said, the gnome-tweak-tool can't handle "new" commands, it's only possible to start already listed apps. But what should users do, who like to run their own commands?
Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2014-04-18 13:28:26 UTC 
can you file an RFE request against tweak tool?
