Implementations

impl Nanny

pub fn autostart() -> Children

As Desktop Application Autostart Specification describe, some applications placing an application’s .desktop file in one of the Autostart Directories could be automatically launched during startup of the user’s desktop environment after the user has logged in.

The Autostart Directories are $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart. $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME can be found in XDG Base Directory Specification.

There are some principles about autostart file:

1. An application .desktop file must have the format as defined in the Desktop Entry Specification
2. If two files have the same filename in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart, e.g. foo.desktop, $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart/foo.desktop will be ignored.

Autostart Entry will be ignored when:

1. the .desktop file has the Hidden key set to true.
2. string identifying the desktop environments not in OnlyShowIn
3. string identifying the desktop environments in NotShowIn

The string identifying the desktop environments means $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, you can find some from Registered OnlyShowIn Environments.
LeftWM use LeftWM as identification (case-sensitive).
