James There is a function ensure_user_autostart_dir () which creates the autostart folder, but that is never called when you create a new session entry. All of the work to create the .desktop file is done in key_file_to_file (), which doesn't actually create the folder.
The attached debdiff fixes this. Tested here and it seems to work as expected. ** Attachment added: "gnome-session_2.23.6-0ubuntu3.debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16886533/gnome-session_2.23.6-0ubuntu3.debdiff -- gnome-session-properties fails to create entries if .config/autostart is missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258145 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
