I don't think there is a way for the windowmanager to execute some
application. Take for example WinowMaker - you have your
~/GNUStep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart file, which is executed on
start. But this is exactly the same as if you had put the programs into
your ~/.xinitrc
BB, AFAIK, does not bother to read a file on startup just to execute the
programs therein. Just stick them in you ~/.xinitrc - mine looks like
this:
+----- begin ~/.xinitrc ------------------
| imwheel -k &
| xhost +localhost
| xscreensaver &
| aterm -tr -e 'mutt' &
| aterm -tr &
| aterm -tr &
| licq&
| wmWeather -station KNYC&
| xset m 20/10 4
| bbkeys -t&
| bbdate &
| bbmail -c /home/jschauma/.bbmailrc &
| exec blackbox
+------ end ~/.xinitrc --------------------
