Option to start diodon on startup

[Oliver Sauder]

There should be option to start Diodon on startup.

Do we want to manage this within the application itself (i.e. have a autostart option in the settings dialog)?

Or should we manage all the autostart applications in the System --> Preferences --> Startup Applications menu?

In parcellite (and other programs) autostart is handled by adding the appropriate .desktop file to the /etc/xdg/autostart/ directory in the debian package. Alternatively, we can add the .desktop file to the user's ~/.config/autostart directory.

We should definitely create a appropriate .desktop file and add it to /etc/xdg/autostart. The question is, if we want to let the user enable or disable such a autostart only with the Startup application menu or if it can additionally be changed in Diodon itself?

I personally think, we should leave our settings dialog clean and do not add any unnecessary options.

[Dariel Dato-on (odd-rationale)]

I agree. Let's keep all the startup application in one place and not add the setting to Diodon itself.

Added diodon desktop file.

Added intltool translation extraction support to the diodon.desktop file.

Open issue:
* File still needs to be copied to /etc/xdg/autostart

[Oliver Sauder (sao)]

The diodon.desktop file is no copied to /etc/xdg/autostart
