Description:
KMix autostart is broken in Plasma5. There is an old similar bug report for Kubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/1364432

from which I understood that the problem could be that the kmix_autostart.desktop in Arch is currently in /usr/share/autostart/ while it should be in /etc/xdg/autostart/. Indeed, moving the autostart file to /etc/xdg/autostart/ makes KMix start automatically.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
kdemultimedia-kmix 15.08.2-1
plasma-desktop 5.4.2-1

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
- Enable KMix autostart (Settings->Configure KMix->Start->Autostart), logout and login: KMix does not start automatically
- Copy /usr/share/autostart/kmix_autostart.desktop into /etc/xdg/autostart/, logout and login: KMix starts automatically
This task depends upon

kdemultimedia-kmix is the KDE4 version, so the autostart file is installed in the KDE4 location. You can use the KF5 version, which we also provide, or add kmix to autostart in Plasma system settings yourself.
