#71 i3 spin installs xfce-polkit but it is not started by dex-autostart
Opened by skoved. Modified

Close Issue

The i3 spin installs xfce-polkit, but it will not get started by dex-autostart unless the user removes the following line from xfce-polkit.desktop:
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;

This line comes from the upstream repo that fedora uses for xfce-polkit
https://github.com/ncopa/xfce-polkit/blob/master/xfce-polkit.desktop.in#L8

Steps to Repoduce:
1. install fedora i3 spin from iso
2. run ps aux | grep xfce-polkit this should not find any matches

Hm, this doesn't look right, the file has different contents on my fresh install of Fedora 41:

# cat /etc/xdg/autostart/xfce-polkit.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=xfce-polkit
Exec=/usr/libexec/xfce-polkit
