You will need to file the issue against ubuntu plank.
Thanks. I have done so already (or rather I added to this existing report). Also, if I may quote myself:
Even if it is a Plank bug, given that Plank bugs basically never get fixed, Mint might want to try to solve/work around the problem (in order to benefit users of Mint who use Plank).
Issue
After logging off and logging on again, Plank is slow to start and does not show 'running' indicators.
Steps to reproduce
Have Plank installed and running. Log off. Log back on.
Expected behaviour
No slow start and indicators working.
Other information
The fix seems to be as follows. (See the last post here.)
Replace
~/.config/autostart/plank.desktop
with
/usr/local/share/applications/plank.desktop
I do not know whether this is a Plank bug or a Mint bug. Even if it is a Plank bug, given that Plank bugs basically never get fixed, Mint might want to try to solve/work around the problem (in order to benefit users of Mint who use Plank).
EDIT:
Here is a 'diff' of the two files (before I overwrote the one with the other; and note that I added the delay value to the 'autostart' version of the file).
