Hello, I suggest you to read this tutorial: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Autostart
Personally, I am using an item in the awesome menu so that it starts all the things I usually want ( pidgin, skype, wicd-gtk, gnome-session-manager...). Previously I was simply calling awful.util.spawn_with_shell("program") in the main script (it's described as the "simple way" in the awesome page). In your case: Simply add awful.util.spawn_with_shell("yakuake") to ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua Note that if you don't have that file you must copy the default one which comes with awesome package. Feel free to ask me if you are having issues :) On Thu, Mar 7, 2013 at 9:34 AM, Gregor Mahnic <gregormah...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > I would like to be able to start up yakuake on start up.
