Autostart prog->desktop #x
Hi Folks, Is there a way to set the programs in the Autostart folder to open in a specified desktop, Suse 8.0? E.G. KMail to desktop 2 and KNode to desktop 3. Thanks, -- del 8-) http://www.diverdel.org.uk

On 7.2 (kde2.2.2) I just leave the applications open (or iconified) when I log off and check the save session box in the logout requester. (This can also be preset in kcontrolcenter). kmail and knode are 2 specific programs I do this with. One on desktop2 and the other on desktop3 just as you desire. One thing I've found is that kmail always opens its window when I log back in while knode will stay iconified if it was iconified when I logged out. -- dh I've been awake: 42 hours minutes Suse Linux 7.2 professional kernel 2.4.17, xFree86 4.2.0, kde 2.2.2

It sure never remembers the VMware window though. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE82ZqqnQ18+PFcZJsRAmZUAJsFrlu8YUd7uYVF5gfHJkymNz7/oQCfSAdr g7zru6JeR/gHASzifiApXMA= =N5cf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I have used save session but it doesn't allow the xconsole, system messages/log?, on desktop 1 to open and I find it useful to keep an eye on. Is there a way to have the xconsole restart after a saved session KDE logout or should I just start an xterm and tail -f /var/log/whatever as root?

Never minimised the windows to notice that. One thing I've noticed with KNode is that it'll save it's window position on the desktop when it's closed and reopened. KMail will always go to top left or smart placement position if there are other windows open. Thanks and apologies to dh, didn't mean to reply to your good self at all only to the list. -- del 8-) http://www.diverdel.org.uk/

Er! Call me undecided, the xconsole didn't start this evening after saving the KDE session from this morning. I think I'll be having a look at starting an xterm after all. Cheers, -- del 8-) http://www.diverdel.org.uk/

Theoretically the program startkde should enable you to do this. You'd need to put appropriate calls to startkde in your ~/.xinitrc file or as objects in your startup file. But I've found that for this purpose at least it doesn't always work as advertised. So I, like you, wonder if there's a better solution. Paul

Absolutely right, of course. But the problems I was referring to apply to kstart -- that's what I meant but not what I remembered. Paul

Use kstart to launch the program. kstart --desktop 2 kmail for instance. Just edit the shortcup you create in Autostart. regards Anders
