Please! :)

Yes, that would be really nice!


>* dependencies between autostarting applications

Well, that could be coded in the scripts, but feel free to add it if you'd 
like.


>And what about:

Already done in ~/.bashrc.. Am I missing something?

>* support for shutdown scripts?

That is really nice :) and usefull!




So the ~/.config/autostart/ could be instead ~/.config/actions/, for 
instance, and inside it you could get:

startup/          --startup scripts
shutdown/      --shutdown scripts
other/          --mounted media, other events, etc

of course, it would be more interesting if these dirs were chosen by the 
user, and there was a file in ~/.config/actions/ where the specific events 
were mapped to specific scripts/dirs and so..

This is getting interesting! :D
