    <title>Description</title>

    <para><filename>systemd-xdg-autostart-generator</filename> is a generator
    that creates .service units for
    <ulink url="https://specifications.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html">XDG autostart</ulink>
    files.
    This permits desktop environments to delegate startup of these applications to
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    .</para>

    <para>Units created by <filename>systemd-xdg-autostart-generator</filename>
    can be started by the desktop environment using <literal>xdg-desktop-autostart.target</literal>.
    See
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for more details.</para>
