Beagle should install an autostart file so that beagled is started
automatically on login. 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

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.

I think Joe is tackling this:

Why not create a system startup script ?

ic, because you can't run beagle as root, what about creating a beagle user ?

Beagle is designed to be run as a per-user thing.

In beagle-0.2.14 there are improvements on this area:

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.
