I start them from .xsession, which is almost exactly the same in funtion
as .xinitrc, except that it's called from kdm/gdm/xdm. To force the
order I want the apps started in, I use `sleep' to specify a delay, like
so:
sleep 2 && bbpager -w &
sleep 4 && bbkeys -w -t &
sleep 6 && ...
And so forth. Granted, it takes four seconds for bbkeys to start, but I
consider that a small price to pay. You may have to tweak the sleep
times, since some apps need more time to initialize than others.
