Understanding AutostartCondition key in .desktop files
0
CentOS 7.x with GNOME 3 Shell by default provides the following *.desktop files under /etc/xdg/autostart/ with AutostartCondition key:
# gnome-welcome-tour.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Welcome
Exec=/usr/libexec/gnome-welcome-tour
AutostartCondition=if-exists run-welcome-tour
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;
NoDisplay=true
And
# gnome-initial-setup-first-login.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Initial Setup
#...
Icon=preferences-system
Exec=/usr/libexec/gnome-initial-setup --existing-user
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Categories=GNOME;GTK;System;
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;
NoDisplay=true
AutostartCondition=unless-exists gnome-initial-setup-done
#...
My questions:
- Am I correct in thinking AutostartCondition key determines if the value of Exec key gets executed by GNOME 3 (or another XDG compliant desktop or session manager) after reading the /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop file on startup?
- How do I query the current value for AutostartCondition?
In relation to question #2: I've attempted the following unsuccessfully (I've already completed both gnome-welcome-tour and gnome-initial-setup and am not prompted on login):
[user@user-centos-7 ~]$ gconftool-2 --recursive-list / | grep gnome-initial-setup-done
[user@user-centos-7 ~]$ gsettings list-schemas | while read -r SCHEMA; do gsettings list-recursively $SCHEMA; done | grep gnome-initial-setup-done
[user@user-centos-7 ~]$
[user@user-centos-7 ~]$ gconftool-2 --recursive-list / | grep run-welcome-tour
[user@user-centos-7 ~]$ gsettings list-schemas | while read -r SCHEMA; do gsettings list-recursively $SCHEMA; done | grep run-welcome-tour
[user@user-centos-7 ~]$
Thanks.
