Hi Brian,

    I would like to put my start up links where 4.4 will
find them, when I finally get my hards on usable rpm's.
I would like it if I did not have to troubleshoot my
start up paths.

    Does 4.2 support both the ~/.config/autostart and the
~/Desktop/Autostart paths?  If not, will 4.2 accept
~/Desktop/Autostart being linked to ~/.config/autostart?

        ln  -s  ~/.config/autostart  ~/Desktop/Autostart

Many thanks,
--Tony
