Deprecated List

Class KAutostart

Since 5.87, the autostart is done inside of Plasma, apps should use the X-KDE-autostart-condition to toggle their autostart values. If the app should autostart in other desktop environments it's desktop file has to be compied to the autostart location manually.

Member KService::allowAsDefault () const

since 5.67 due to no known use case
