xfce4 start adesklets automatically

statmobile

It seems that the session manager does not remember some programs such as adesklets. Is there some file I can use to execute some commands automatically?

Usually it's your ~/.xinitrc...

Maybe you need to add & at the end of adesklets

I had the same problem too, until I dug through some XFCE4 documentation.

On startup, xfce4 executes any scripts inside ${HOME}/Desktop/Autostart. So I wrote a simple script called init.sh and put this script in the afforementioned folder. (Just remember to make it "executable".) This worked for me.

Contents of init.sh:

thanks mouacha, that did the trick. Now I have my nice little desklet running at startup in xfce.
