The starting of the application automatically shouldn't be too hard, ~/.xinitrc or something like that should be able to accomplish it. Doing it this way may require you to run X from the console (ie: startx) instead of using a graphical login. As for logging in as a user, you might be able to do something using /etc/inittab You said no kde, but .... Using KDEs KDM it has an automagic login function/setting to login a user automatically when kdm starts. You can also put files in ~/.kde/Autostart that will be run as kde starts. Additionally you can hide the kicker (bar at the bottom). -- Troy Dack http://linux.tkdack.com <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://webportage.sf.net Public Key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x4D90BE3C Key fingerprint = 1F3D 6C15 16AA 09D5 0C96 92E5 FD89 16F9 4D90 BE3C -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
