XFCE startup application changes not saving

Hey all,

I am using XFCE for the first time. I just installed in on an Arch Linux install. I am having an issue where dropbox is starting before networkmanager establishes a connection so I am trying to change the line in the ~/.config/autostart/dropbox.desktop to read:

sh -c "nm-online -t 120 && /opt/dropbox/dropboxd"

however, whenever i change this and reboot or relog the line reverts back to "/opt/dropbox/dropboxd". I tried changing this in the XFCE session and startup gui but the same thing happens. Any idea how to get this setting to stick permanently?

Thanks in advanced! :-)

Re: XFCE startup application changes not saving

Xfce is not changing the desktop file, possibly dropbox does that. You can create a new start-up application that does the same and disable the dropbox one.
