Hi Koen,

I was looking at xinput-calibrator in preparation for bug 9365 "Remove
xtscal in preference of xinput-calibrator", and I'm wondering if you
remember the logic behind this commit:

commit 6464bcd67d10ab9967ac83c27c413c1014be707e

    xinput-calibrator: fix XDG launch

    In the move from meta-oe to OE-core XDG based launched was dropped
    without noting it in the commit message, so fix that regression.

    Gnome-session will now launch the calibrator again.

The commit installs the app desktop file in the XDG autostart
directory. But we already have a XSession script for a similar purpose
-- the result in Sato is that xinput-calibrator runs twice (and I
would expect that to happen in gnome as well)?

I'd like to either not install the desktop file or install it in
applications directory, so please let me know if the reasons for the
above commit might still be valid.


Thanks,
 Jussi
