Description:
This package puts /etc/xdg/autostart/xpad.desktop into the file system, hence xpad auto starts for every user on my system. This IMO contradicts the Arch linux philosophy and is very annoying.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

If your DE starts everything by default, that's more where the problem is.

Things in /etc/xdg/autostart getting autostarted is indeed the designed behavior.

However, this might be a problem with xpad upstream.

There is a bug report upstream[1] and plans to fix this in the next xpad release.
