 |
|
just wondering how you get KDE to automatically launch certain apps when you login. also, it would be great if i could preserve their attributes like window geom, border, etc. all this is pretty straight forward on enlightenment, so i thought it would be the sam in kde.
thanks for any help |

automatic launching : either the program has session management and will stick around when you next longin (most things that run in the systray from my experience, like gaim, skype, gcheckmail...) and if they don't, make a link to them or put a startup script in ~/.kde/Autostart.
for saving window specific settings look at Configure Window Behavior -> Window Specific Settings in each windows' menu (the one you get if you right click the titlebar) or somewhere in the control center |

I have setup some small bash scripts to the Autostart like:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
DISPLAY=:0.0 nice -n 19 conky
|
or
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
DISPLAY=:0.0 kompose
|
These work fine and I do not get these to the other window manager running on the video projector. Skype however wants to open two instances with a similar script, both to DISPLAY=:0.0. Is there a way to prevent this? |
