Public bug reported:
Hello!
I'm noticed that the program to configure the session startups
application uses a very unconfortable dialog to add and edit entries. I
mean the dialog that allows you to configure the name, command and
comment for the autostarted program.
I propose that the add/edit dialog consists on a filterable applications
list with the buttons Add (or Save), Cancel and an expander with the
label "Advanced options" which shows the options previously mentioned.
When user selects an application in the application list, the advanced
options widgets must be updated, when user edits some widgets on the
advanced options, the list should select a "Custom" item.
I guess the program should copy the original .desktop file from
"/usr/share/applications" in the case of not be a customized entry, and,
when the entry is customized, should be saved with a well known filename
for that purpose, so, when user going to edit an entry, the program
knows which item mark as selected on the application list.
What do you think?
