I didn't read all of Peter's very long comment, but I think the general
feeling here from those of us who do not like the proposed functionality
is not "never opening windows automatically" but not starting up
applications automatically and/or unsolicited.

As an aside, is this "indicators" applet supposed to be this new
proposed functionality? Because I have the packages installed but I
never see anything from the indicators applet. There's probably a bug
open on that somewhere. Or maybe it's just a dummy applet for the
moment, but I thought I read indications (NPI) somewhere that people
were getting indications from it.
