+# Hidden
+# ------
+# In GNOME environments, indicates to the desktop environment whether the
+# application should be displayed in the autostart settings UI. If
+# hidden, autostart is also disabled. The user  can enable or disable
+# autostart only if it is not hidden.
+#
+# In non-GNOME environments, `Hidden` means "disable". It indicates to the
+# desktop environment the default autostart enabling status when the
+# application is installed. It doesn't hide the application in the autostart
+# settings UI.
+# - `Hidden=false` means that the desktop environment will enable autostart as
+#    soon as the application is installed.
+# - `Hidden=true` means that the desktop environment will show the autostart
+#   feature as available to the user, but not enabled.
+# In both cases the user can enable or disable autostart as desired.
