The problem is that X-KDE-autostart-condition will NOT work on all the
non- Plasma desktops that read /etc/xdg/autostart! Heck, it won't even
work in Plasma 5 because Plasma 5 does not use ~/.kde. This was fine while
the file was in /usr/share/autostart, but now this feature won't work
Hrm, I was assuming that plasma5 (still) supported X-KDE-autostart-
condition. Do you have evidence to the contrary?
I can look closer if you're uncertain.
As far as non-plasma desktops, they never worked for this before, and they
still won't (due to OnlyShowIn=KDE; ) so there's no loss in functionality
there.
