Question/(Possible bug/limitation): Regarding my autostart .desktop file #433

Hey there,

Thank you for this super cool thing that is tilda.

I've got a config_0 set up, and I don't really need any other instances of tilda running, really.

So, I've been trying to get tilda to run with config_0 during login. But it does not honour my autostart options. The following are the contents of my ~/.config/autostart/tilda.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Name[en_US]=Tilda
Comment[en_US]=Run Tilda with config_0
Exec=tilda --config-file $HOME/.config/tilda/config_0
Icon=tilda
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Type=Application

However, if I change Exec line to Exec=zenity --question --text="Hello world", zenity shows up just fine.

This leads me to think that this is a tilda issue.

Additional Information:

  1. Tilda does open at startup, but does not open with config_0.
  2. If I try to run the same thing on the terminal (tilda --config-file $HOME/.config/tilda/config_0) it works just fine.
  3. Tilda Version: 1.5.2
