Where I have Firefox installed from the Ubuntuzilla repository and
Chromium installed from snap, neither browser is listed when
/update-alternatives --config x-www-browser/ is accessed, it only lists
Konqueror. Is this correct behavior since Firefox and Chromium are not
/native/ Debian packages?
The other issue: I have /meteo-qt/ launching at desktop startup, this is
an app(let) that when used with an API key from OpenWeather, displays
the local weather with an icon. The weather information coming in from
it is from my hometown, where TDE's weather applet lists the local
cities that have airports and pulls in the weather from the nearest
airport station. Both reports have indicated different temperatures, but
I like using it. The problem here, is that meteo-qt appears to be
launching at TDE startup - multiple times. I have seen as many as four
of its icons on the TDE panel and I have to Exit out of the extras,
leaving just one.
On LXQT, it only loads in once.
Is there something I can look at WRT the meteo-qt issue?
Thanks again.

My limited Debian/Devuan experience tells me that this might be the case (I might
be wrong on this one).

The problem seems to be the multitude of places where you can store a link to the
program you want launched on startup (/etc/xdg/autostart, ~/.trinity/Autostart etc.).
I'd like to know how LXQt handles this correctly for duplicate entries. The best
workaround right now is seemingly to find out how the appropriate .desktop file for the
program is called, then find all the places where it is stored (except of
/usr/share/applications, of course) and give them another extension (e.g. .old) so that
they get ignored (do not delete them unless you are sure you won't need them).
Hope this was of help.

Re Firefox/Chromium/Konqueror, that could be the case, by design.
I looked in /etc/xdg/autostart and my .trinity/Autostart directories.
There was nothing in /etc/xdg/autostart pertaining to meteo-qt. My
.trinity/Autostart directory is empty.
LXQt has a GUI that lists the apps which autostart. meteo-qt is listed
only once and all apps listed can be checked/unchecked at will. The
meteo-qt box was checked. But in the meteo-qt Settings GUI, there is
also an option to launch at startup, initially this particular option
was not checked when I configured it for the first time.
