Thanks! It sort of works, I had to add a sleep command to get it to work in my startup_local script: kmail & sleep 5 dcop kmail kmail-mainwindow#1 setHidden on If I don't wait a second it doesn't find kmail yet. If I could get dcop to wait for kmail to finish "starting" that would be perfect. Chris -- C. Hurschler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
