Bug#585406: klipper applet not available; klipperrc; AutoStart=false
Package: klipper
Version: 4:4.4.4-1
Severity: normal
I believe I am experiencing the same problem as described.
- klipper is not auto started on login
- starting klipper from the command line works correctly
and the icon appears in the task bar
- is user dependent as to whether it works or not
- adding klipper to autostart (in System Settings) still
does not result in startup
The root cause seems to be due to the AutoStart option in klipperrc
being set to false.
~/.kde/share/config/klipperrc
[General]
AutoStart=false
If this option is removed or set to true it will auto start on login.
~/.kde/share/config/klipperrc
[General]
AutoStart=true
A secondary problem I ran in to was that I could not find where in
the graphical interface this option is configured.
Perhaps the option was removed because it was assumed that it should always
be started. But then when a user with an old config file with klipper
disabled will run into this problem and not be able to fix it.
