preferences and calendar popup on login

[Günter]

Binary package hint: orage

(very similar to #186050)

on newest xubuntu hardy:

when I activate orage via "Settings Manager", everytime I login xfce, orage pop-ups up including the preferences dialog.

-> Session saving is deactivated
-> yes, I tried all "Calendar starts" options (hide/minimized) - and even then, I don't think the Preferences dialog should ever pop-up?

I can reproduce this by starting orage with preferences option:
orage -p
and then saving this session.

I bet if you do
ps -ef | grep orage
you will see that you have orage started like this?
and the parent process is
xfce4-session

If that is the case, you can fix it by ending that Orage session
and starting new without any parameters and saving that session.

yep you are right. I figured out this is actually an issue of the session manager rather than of orage itself.

Check out: http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?topic=3733.0 seems to happen with other apps, too.

Marked as invalid, please re-report it with xfce4-session if that's where the problem is. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+filebug

As stated above, the issue seems to be in xfce4-session, so no need to file a new bug.

(...) I'm stupid, I could've just changed the package... >.<
Ah well, I'll remember it for next time ;-)

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

Uh no, nevermind (sorry vincent). That's indeed invalid: the session is saved, so that's normal if orage is restarted with the same options...
