autostart: Set NoDisplay=true (782 bytes, patch)

Description Jeremy Bicha 2017-10-12 22:26:33 UTC 
Ubuntu still includes the Startup Applications app in the default install (it was dropped in gnome-session upstream years ago).

To prevent users from being able to easily disable system services that they probably shouldn't, Ubuntu makes sure that apps included by default set NoDisplay=true in their autostart files. This hides the services from the Startup Applications app.

By the way, MATE has a similar tool but it doesn't respect NoDisplay yet.
