Maybe its an issue with how Desktop Manager (lightdm, slim, whatever) is setup.
A newly installed .xsession file becomes the default somehow.
However this issue should be directed to and adressed by distro maintainers.

you may be on to something. here are the emails i got from the person that did the package for the community. if you're right then this is most likely a plasma issue or something the manjaro devs changed. i'm thinking a plasma issue.

please take a look at the 2 below threads and let me know if there is any way to stop your build or kodi ingeneral from starting at boot up. thanks. https://forum.manjaro.org/t/kodi-and-boo...o/115485/2 https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=350152

There is nothing included in the kodi package to make it start by default. It will add en .xession file so your display manager can load kodi without the need for a window manager or desktop environment. That would mean your display manager does not properly remember what the last session was you used. Which brings me to the following question: do you have auto login enabled? Best regards, Ike

Code:

i had auto login in enabled yes. all i did was install kodi, install titanium, check email and do a couple of other task and reboot. now before i installed titanium in kodi i had set kodi to windowed mode, so it was odd that it wasn't windowed when the system landed on the kodi screen on boot. beginning to think it is a issue with some file or files within manjaro itself. if you don't mind i'd like to add your comments to the two threads. thanks

Feel free to add this information to the forum threads. I suspect your display manager is at fault when auto login is enabled. Also even if you have configured kodi to run in windowed mode using a desktop environment, when you start the xsession kodi from your display manager it will run fullscreen anyway Best, Ike​​​​​​​
