If you look through /etc/xdg/autostart/ you'll see that most files
there have NoDisplay=true set now [1]

Is there a good reason for users to be able to easily disable the
spice-vdagent autostart?

Thanks,

[1] Ubuntu 11.04 default install had 21 autostart files without
NoDisplay; this was reduced to 0 before 12.04 LTS and most upstreams
accepted the NoDisplay patches

$ ls -1 /etc/xdg/autostart/ | wc -l
$ rgrep NoDisplay /etc/xdg/autostart/ | wc -l
