[Kde-kiosk] 'not authorized to execute service' when checked disable execution of arbitrary .desktop files

[Adrian Malaguti]

Waldo,

I found a file in  ~/.kde/Autostart, moving_desktop.desktop, it seems to
be the file causing the error, its content is:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=default_desktop_aligning
Name=moving_desktop
Type=Application
X-KDE-StartupNotify=false
X-KDE-autostart-after=kdesktop

Categories=
Name[de]=moving_desktop
Name[es]=moving_desktop
Name[fr]=moving_desktop
Name[it]=moving_desktop
Name[ja]=moving_desktop
Name[pt_BR]=moving_desktop
Name[zh_CN]=moving_desktop
Name[zh_TW]=moving_desktop
X-SuSE-translate=true

I moved off the file and the error gone.

Any idea ?

Thanks !

Regards. Adrian.

Tracing is a bit awkward, it should really print the service that
failed.

Can it be that there is .desktop file in ~/.kde/Autostart ? (Or whatever
the 
Autostart directory is set to) If so, move it to ~/.kde/share/autostart

Cheers,
Waldo
