Because smserver often crashes during logout because Firefox is running, I wrote a little script to kill it at shutdown, but it's not working, perhaps because Autostart Manager's Shutdown processing runs too late?
If I remember to run the script manually before logging out smserver does not crash, but I don't always remember.
Does Autostart Manager not process Shutdown scripts before shutting down any TDE processes? IMO it should.

IMO it runs the script on starting the desktop, not when shutting down. Do you have ~/.trinity/shutdown/ Try putting it there.

So even though there are options in Control Center => TDE Components => Autostart Manager for Shutdown and ENV (whatever that is), they don't actually do anything? (See attachments)

Very interesting - I do not have this option in the menu list under TDE Components. Under this icon, I have something called "productivity" (in translation), but no autostart. And it looks different.
The Autostart module comes in a separate package which isn't installed by default. In deb distributions it's called kcontrol-autostart-trinity.

The screenshot you attached displays Control Center => TDE Components => Performance, which has nothing to do with Autostart Manager.

It shows that I do not have Autostart module installed. See post by Philippe

Yes, apparently Autostart Manager has placed the instruction in ~/.trinity/shutdown, but it does not seem to work (or perhaps is not invoked before smserver crashes due to Firefox still running?)
