           Summary: autostart ignores Path in xdg desktop files
        QA Contact: bjt23 at cornell.edu
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Xfce
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: chris at edesix.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: 4.8.3
         Component: General
           Product: Xfce4-session

I've symlinked a .desktop file into ~/.config/autostart.

The program executes fine when it's menu item is clicked, but it does't work on
log-on.

This is because xfce4-session is ignoring the Path entry in the .desktop file
that should set the working directory for the executable - and the app is
broken enough to fail if it's started in the wrong directory.

I'm using xfce4-session as packaged for Fedora 16:
xfce4-session-4.8.3-1.fc16.x86_64.
