Comment 9 for bug 631696

@Oliver, we may be at cross-purposes. Maximus seems like a good "pixel-conserving" solution for users who have small screens even when they can't/won't use Unity. I installed Maximus without UNE, and I had a reasonable expectation that it would start automatically. I'm just an old IT-vet who sometimes installs packages, not a Gnome hacker. I'm not trying to recommend how others should use Ubuntu, just trying to point out that the last config change had a surprising result for me, and I hadn't realised that my use case was seen as anomalous.

I've followed your advice and manually added it to Startup Applications in an enabled state without problem. Perhaps a note regarding this could be added to the package description and/or man page.
