A user can place .desktop files in his ~/.config/autostart/ directory to run a script on login (session start) in Gnome, or indeed any Freedesktop-compliant environment.But, on my openSUSE Leap 42.2 Gnome 3 system, in addition to each user's ~/.config/autostart/ directory, each user also has a ~/.config/autostart-scripts/ directory. I would assume that this directory would serve as a dumping ground for any quick and dirty scripts that a user would want to run on login without having to wrap those scripts in a .desktop file, but the scripts I place in that directory do not run on login.Search engines have provided very little in the way of details about this directory. Does anyone know the purpose of the ~/.config/autostart-scripts directory and the requirements for the scripts in it to run?
