lxde debian
This is pretty straighforward, if you know were to put the files. LXDE uses freedesktop.org Autostart spec which states that :
<note>The Autostart Directories are $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart […]</note>
Good, then what's mine ?
julien@sachiel:~$ env|grep XDG_CONFIG_HOME XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/julien/.config $ ls /home/julien/.config/ akonadi gnome-session lxpanel openbox Trolltech.conf autostart gpicview lxsession pcmanfm vlc enchant gtk-2.0 lxterminal totem xarchiver
Easy, just copy the .desktop file of the apps in this autostart directory :
julien@sachiel:~$ cp /usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop /home/julien/.config/autostart/ julien@sachiel:~$ ls -l /home/julien/.config/autostart/ total 24 -rw-r--r-- 1 julien julien 9906 2009-11-30 07:17 pidgin.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 julien julien 5410 2009-11-02 13:32 print-applet.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 julien julien 161 2009-11-30 07:08 skype.desktop
That's it !
