click icon of app, or alt+right mouse on window -> window -> remember you can ask e to "remember" things about that window... in the basic dialog. in advanced you can fine-tune this out of the wazoo... including asking e to run the app on login. :) alternatively you can not ask it to remember launching here and use the settings -> apps -> startup applications. and add applications to start to the order list. you can even define the order. :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
