Description Neha 2010-06-02 19:27:52 UTC 
Launch applications that are marked as favorites based on user's choice at the start-up probably by adding 'launch at start-up/login' option to the right click menu of the AppIcons.

I think session management should be enough for this: if you want an app to run on start, then have it running on quit, and it will be restarted. More specific use cases can go to the control center.

Do you have a precise idea in mind (I guess so ;-)?
Comment 2 Neha 2010-06-04 14:41:30 UTC 
Ok,this is what I think-

1.Add the 'start at login'option in the appDisplay.js
2.Create gconf key similar to favorites..
3.Add the code for launching them in shell-app-system.c(or main.js) 


(maybe I am wrong here:P)
