Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.2):

3.2

Affected TemplateVMs (e.g., fedora-23, if applicable):

probably the dom0 when using i3

Expected behavior:

.desktop files in .config/autostarts should be considered to start programs

Actual behavior:

the script qvm-xgd-autostart fails to detect the .desktop files and does not start user settings

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

create a file ~/.config/autostart/q.desktop with Exec=xeyes, logout & login. xyes is not started (or alter the script to only echo the command and start is manually).

Fix:

because the shell does not expand the home dir ~ in " the " should be removed in the line if [[ -d "$config... or ${HOME} should be used instead of ~ further down
