autostart applications
I was just wondering, with all those nice shields or what was the name again, wouldn't it be super cool to autostart applications like notes, todo, what's my IP or so, just like you know back then when we had widgets?
Or is there a feature for it already and I'm just not deep enough into my latest favorite dungeon, the settings? Well, and if not, would you have any pointers on where to mess around in /etc to get something like that done? (and on a side note, can I please have a shortcut to factory reset no questions asked somewhere?)
There is

but you need priviledges for writing there. You could try to soft link a desktop file to~/.config/autostart
but I have no idea if it would work:thanks, I'll look into that. Still I think it'd be very cool to have this as a GUI option embedded in the launcher or so.

On boot, the user session would be restored and all the applications internal states. Might be challenging to achive full "session awareness" in moblle platforms.
