Hi all,

as it seems, session management in k-n-m has been disabled in TRUNK.
Instead we rely on k-n-m being autostarted (by $(prefix)/share/autostart/).

I kinda like this approach and prefer it over the current
session-management based solution.
The only thing missing, is an easy way for users to disable k-n-m from
autostarting (e.g. because their network devices are configured statically).

Attached is a quick&dirty patch, which adds a config option to the tray
menu ("Configure Autostart..."), that allows to enable/disable autostart
for k-n-m.

The UI is not really good yet, but I wanted to get your feedback first,
if this is something we should go for. So comments are most welcome.


Michael
