Hi Aitor,

Enjoy yourself, I am working on it. I think, I got a way of putting it
right. There are two .desktop files that control how netman gui
behaves:
a) /etc/xdg/autostart/netman.desktop
b) /usr/share/applications/netman.desktop

The netman-gui.postinst script has to modify both of them. If netman
is set not to start automatically /etc/xdg/autostart/netman.desktop
should be deleted. The sed command in the postinst script also has to
make sure no multiple Exec= and Comment= lines are added to both
.desktop files.

Edward
