I cannot find a way of automatically starting an X program. Is there an equivalent to the Startup folder in Windows.
I have read that you can put an entry in init.d but that does not work. I am using the syntax /path/programname
is that correct or should you use some other form, and if init.d does not work, is there a better place to put the command. The command as I have written it works from an X terminal.
You can use the Autostart directory.
You can find it in $HOME/.kde2/Autostart
Just put your script in there (or a link to it) and it will run when your Xsession starts.
But that only works with KDE. I have something like this in my .xinitrc: sleep 1 && $HOME/bin/slit start & sleep 3 && xmms & exec blackbox Which makes sure they get started after the windowmanager is up and running. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A.
