Hi Aitor, Enjoy yourself, I am working on it. I think, I got a way of putting it right. There are two .desktop files that control how netman gui behaves: a) /etc/xdg/autostart/netman.desktop b) /usr/share/applications/netman.desktop
The netman-gui.postinst script has to modify both of them. If netman is set not to start automatically /etc/xdg/autostart/netman.desktop should be deleted. The sed command in the postinst script also has to make sure no multiple Exec= and Comment= lines are added to both .desktop files.
