On two machines with Ubuntu 11.10, it will not start automatically even though startup applications shows it is supposed to start. When booting it looks like it is trying to start, but then stalls, the desktop picture flashes, and then the boot completes normally. If I click the dash button, then type in redshift, and then left click the icon, it loads, and I get an icon for it in the top bar. Then everything works fine until shutdown. If I don't click on the button in the top bar and select to quit redshift, both computers freeze during shutdown. The only way to turn them off is to hold the power button down.
