- Applications that fail to startup on login do no longer time out, but are
  dropped immediately from the session, which results in faster startup in
  that case.

  which tries to use HAL first, and falls back to sudo.
- Drop GLib 2.2.x compatibility code.

			ByungHyun Choi (ko), Phan Vĩnh Thịnh (vi)

  editor application (xfce4-autostart-editor).
