Starting an application on login



Hi Mentors!

I'm currently packaging a notification application, BuildNotify [1].

It only makes sense to start the application when the user logs in,
which can be done using the $(HOME)/.config/autostart directory or
adding an entry using the Startup Applications GUI.

From the packaging perspective, is this something we should do when the
package is installed... or should it be left to the user to configure
how they start it?

If it's left to the user to configure how to start it, what is the best
way of informing the user what they need to do?
