Changelog:

http://repo.or.cz/w/XDGStart.git?a=log

This was formerly known as AutoStart but had its name changed to avoid confusion with Lars Hansson's Autostart. This version is written in C and has a few more features than Autostart, eg being able to add entries and configure whether they start in ROX or other environments.

Using XDGStart is highly recommended with the new version of ROX-Session (>= 0.40.0).

DevTray shows icons for devices, offering several actions via menus. Supported types of devices are: Volumes (including Floppy Disks, Video DVDs and Audio CDs), Printers and Soundcards.
Due to its modular structure it's easy to add support for other devices.

It needs dbus (>=0.33), its python bindings and HAL (>=0.5.7). These should be included as standard with most modern Linux distributions.
For DevTray >= 0.3 you also needTrayLib.

Some special features only work if additional packages are installed:
