start minimized to tray - not working in gnome 3 from autostart

[fast_rizwaan]

qbittorrent has 'start minimized to tray feature'; but it is not working when it is executed from autostart (~/.config/autostart/qbittorrent.desktop), but on running from alt+f2 (run command) or 'applications' it is working as expected, i.e., starting minimized to tray.

I have found a workaround, using bash -c "qbittorrent" works.

[code]
cat ~/.config/autostart/qbittorrent.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=bash -c "sleep 5s; qbittorrent"
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

[/code]

This does not work for minimized to tray, the window is always coming up:
[code]
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=qbittorrent
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=guake
Name=guake

Comment=guake
[/code]

Could gnome-session-properties be doing something different which is causing
this bug or qbittorrent needs to fix something to work with gnome 3?

guake, goldendict are working as expected (minimized to tray) though.

[code]
cat ~/.config/autostart/goldendict.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=goldendict
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=Goldendict
Name=Goldendict

Comment=goldendict
[code]

thanks.

Gnote has this problem too.

I can put gnote --start-minimized in the terminal and it will start gnote minimized. But if I put it in Gnome autostart, then it doesn't.

Same issue with google-musicmanager -p mypassword. The workaround of bash -c does not work for me.

fast_rizwaan, thanx for your advice.
I had that bug with "start minimized in tray" too.
