E17 Startup Applications not working [SOLVED]
In one of my systems E17 Startup Applications refuses to add any new applications, effectively preventing me from using this feature with new applications.
On the other hand, I had added Pidgin to the startup applications a while back and it continues to start it correctly.
I suppose that there is a corruption. Is there a way to edit the configuration file to "reset" its contents? Or is there another way to deal with the problem, like erasing my personal settings or something?
Thanks.
R.

Re: E17 Startup Applications not working [SOLVED]
I'm not sure if this will help, but E17 start up applications go into:
/home/<YOUR_USER>/.e/e/applications/startup/.order
It's a simple text file with line-delimited .desktop files.

In my machine that directory is empty.

Re: E17 Startup Applications not working [SOLVED]
Maybe something went wrong with the permissions? I know that all folders in that directory, both user and group, belong to my regular user on this system.

Re: E17 Startup Applications not working [SOLVED]
Well ... I deleted the ~/.e directory and all its subdirectories and the next time I logged into E it was recreated and the problem was solved.
I presume the problem was due to some sort of corruption in my profile settings that given it is a binary file it is not possible to analyze, so deleting it seems to be the answer.
Thanks for your help skottish.
