Whiteboard
The following should be the default:
-------
1. Autostart Xpad on login
Autostarting is achieved by putting a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart/ (all users) or ~/.config/autostart (current user) (http://
Note, it might not be up to the application developer to add an autostart file, but to the Linux Distribution builder. However, we might change the "make install" command that it will add this file. If the Distribution builder does not like this, he can remove it.
-------
2. Hide window decorations
Hide window decorations is already present as an option, it just needs to be enabled by default
-------
3. Do not minimize xpad on "show desktop"
Do not minimize xpad on "show desktop" is discussed here: https:/
Arthur Borsboom has been working on this item and got stuck in the implementation. Maybe we should take this item out and keep it as a separate blueprint. What do you say?
---------------
This can be removed from the Whiteboard:
"It would also be best if we could include this as an option in "Preferences"." since the autostart option in the preferences already exists in newer versions (4.2 and up).
