This feature will work with Gnome > 2.14. As Gnome 2.14 is already available (masked) it would make sense to already ship this autostart file now for the users running (masked) 2.14 packages. It won't have ill effects for users still running Gnome 2.12 dsd@gentoo.org 2006-04-06 22:11:46 0000 I'm pretty sure this won't work with beagle - on logout, GNOME doesn't wait for beagle to exit, so it leaves dangling lock files, meaning that beagle will often delete most of its indexes next time it is started up. We do need a good way of autostarting beagle though. Currently I use an xsession hack. dsd@gentoo.org 2006-04-13 08:49:50 0000 I think Joe is tackling this: http://joeshaw.org/2006/04/12/394 jonas@geiregat.org 2006-08-29 14:14:11 0000 Why not create a system startup script ? jonas@geiregat.org 2006-08-29 14:23:57 0000 ic, because you can't run beagle as root, what about creating a beagle user ? dsd@gentoo.org 2006-08-29 19:03:04 0000 Beagle is designed to be run as a per-user thing. pacho@condmat1.ciencias.uniovi.es 2006-12-15 07:52:05 0000 In beagle-0.2.14 there are improvements on this area: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/beagle/NEWS metalgod@gentoo.org 2006-12-15 18:49:56 0000 yes the upstream added two autostart files mainly beacause Joe got tired to patch the suse rpms. 0.1.14 has the autostart files so it should work and closes this bug. Thanks everyone.
