Bug#705426: [pulseaudio] slow KDE autostart: /etc/xdg/pulseaudio.desktop and pulseaudio-kde.desktop duplicate

[Török Edwin]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 2.0-6
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Upstream bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58758

There are two pulseaudio autostart files in /etc/xdg/autostart:
pulseaudio.desktop and pulseaudio-kde.desktop, and they both try to
start causing noticable delay of autostarted applications on KDE login
(probably until some timeout is reached).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add Icedove, Pidgin, and Gkrellm to autostart (or some other
applications):
$ ls $HOME/.config/autostart
GKrellM System Monitor.desktop     Pidgin Internet Messenger.desktop
Icedove Mail⁄News.desktop
2. Logout from KDE, and login again
3. Wait until splash screen disappears

Expected behaviour:
4. The autostarted applications should start now

Actual behaviour:
4. There is a noticable delay of several seconds (haven't measured
exactly how many)
5. Then the autostarted applications start

Solution:
Add 'NotShowIn=KDE;' to /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop
(or remove it, but that'd break Gnome, so don't)
