docs: Add manual method for autostarting fusuma
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Updated the README to include instructions for manually creating a desktop entry
to autostart fusuma. This method can be used as an alternative to the
gnome-session-properties approach, addressing compatibility issues on systems
where gnome-session-properties is unavailable. This addition provides a clear
guide for setting up fusuma to start automatically when a session is initiated.

## Autostart (gnome-session-properties)
## Autostart

### Method 1: Using gnome-session-properties

1. Check the path where you installed fusuma with `which fusuma`
2. Open `gnome-session-properties`
3. Add Fusuma and enter the location where the above path was checked in the command input field
4. Add the `-d` option at the end of the command input field

### Method 2: Creating a Desktop Entry Manually

1. Check the path where you installed fusuma with `which fusuma`
2. Create a new file named `fusuma.desktop` in the `~/.config/autostart/` directory.
3. Add the following content to the `fusuma.desktop` file:

```ini
[Desktop Entry]
Name=fusuma
Comment=run fusuma
Exec={path_to_fusuma} -d --log=/tmp/fusuma.log
Icon=input-touchpad
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Type=Application
```

Replace `{path_to_fusuma}` with the path obtained from `which fusuma`.
4. Save the file and ensure its permissions are correctly set to be executable.
5. Restart your system or session to verify that fusuma starts automatically.
