For the moment I am building as a separate package that would get merged to the applications tree. I started to fiddle with merging directly into tdebase/kcontrol but then got unsure about what to strip from the original sources. Further, I wondered whether everybody would want this module, although we could add a -DWITH-AUTOSTART build option. Anyway, I figure we can merge to tdebase later, but for now we need to ensure the sources build and develop a usability test plan. According to the original kde-look.org descriptions (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=45975), there does not seem to be much to this module. Just a graphical way to add or remove apps, which is a notch better than the previous methods KDE3 required. I used the Ubuntu sources, which came with a large Ubuntu/Debian patch, which merged without error (after updating one line for TDE). I don't know whether that patch fixed any of the known bugs listed at kde-look.org. Therefore the test plan includes testing those reported bugs. The docbook file is merely a template. Test plan: * Installs correctly to TDE Components. * If the user's Autostart directory is already populated, verify those items appear in the modules list. * Can add new apps to the list. * Those newly added apps actually start with the next new session. * Previously populated apps still start with the next new session. * Can remove apps from the list. * Apps not removed still start with the next new session. * Bug: When launching apart for kcontrol, clicking "Cancel" with a properties dialog open will generate a crash. * Bug: When launching inside kcontrol, option "Reset" does not work. * Bug: Clicking "Reset" with a properties dialog open inserts a duplicate entry into the list of the entry which has the properties open. * What else?
