Bug Description

Linux Mint 10 RC
docky 2.0.7-1

The docky package installs a ".desktop" file into '/etc/xdg/autostart/' by default. This causes docky to start on login for all users whether they want it or not. The only way I was able to stop docky from starting on login was to delete that file. This should be handled locally for every user, either in '~/.config/autostart/' or '~/.local/share/autostart/'.

Viewing the list of installed files by the docky package in synaptic confirms the installation of the file '/etc/xdg/autostart/docky.desktop'.

This is the default behavior of the package, have reported
upstream to Docky. It is likely this is a Wishlist/Opinion.
