Magnus autostarts in some desktop environments #16

Hello,

I currently have a problem in Ubuntu 20.04 with Xfce. Everytime I login (at least) through a remote desktop session (x2go), Magnus autostarts.

Googling I found this issue, where it says that this happens because a desktop environment with gsettings is expected, a condition that is not always met. It recommends adding one line to the autostart.desktop file (OnlyShowIn=Budgie;GNOME;Mate) to stop this error from happening.

I already tried it on my (remote) computer and it seems to be working. Could you consider adding the fix to the package?

Thanks.

This sounds plausible to me, but I am no expert in this desktop integration stuff, so I'd like to hear @flexiondotorg on whether this is the best approach to take before committing to it; there may be a better way.
