Bug Description

There is some desktop service override in ubuntukylin-default-settings's chroot hook script, by echoing "\nX-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false" to the xdg autostart files under /etc/xdg/autostart . This is not tracked in dpkg database, so the file could be reverted on package upgrade, or possibly cause other troubles. Affected files:

/etc/xdg/autostart/deja-dup-monitor.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/vino-server.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-user-share.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop

If we need any of the user services to be disabled or removed, please file separate bugs for each individual service so we can track one by one.

For this bug, we are only going to revert the hacks.
