+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-xdg-autostart-generator</filename> is a generator
+ that creates .service units for
+ <ulink url="https://specifications.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html">XDG autostart</ulink>
+ files.
+ This permits desktop environments to delegate startup of these applications to
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ .</para>
+
+ <para>Units created by <filename>systemd-xdg-autostart-generator</filename>
+ can be started by the desktop environment using <literal>xdg-desktop-autostart.target</literal>.
+ See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more details.</para>
+
+ <para>XDG autostart may be conditionalized using both standardized and non-standardized keys.
+ In order to handle these, the generator may create one or more <varname>ExecCondition=</varname> entries.
+ For non-standardized keys, well-known helper binaries provided by Desktop Environments are used.
+ All external helpers <emphasis>must</emphasis> detect their corresponding desktop environment and
+ <emphasis>must</emphasis> return success when run in a different environment.
+ This is important as all <varname>ExecCondition=</varname> directives must succeed for an application to be started.</para>
