dear bhaskar,

yes! the following techniques you suggest are working :

 <quote>if you are using KDE, use the ~/.kde/Autostart folder. Put the 
script or a link to it and it should start after X loads.
  In GNOME, use ~/.Xclients-default to load your programs.<quote>


however, the following technique, in principle and concept which i want, 
is not working:

<quote>  If you use some other window manager, put something like this in 
your .xinitrc file:
sleep 5 && /usr/local/bin/firestarter start<quote>


so if i have a user on my machine who decides to boot into any random
environment, the apps i want working on his/her logging into runlevel 5,
will disappear.

i created the .xinitrc file in the home directory of the user.
first i just left it as a simple file, with just that command in it.

then i tried it with a generous sleep 60

then i even tried to convert .xinitrc into a bash script and chmodded it
accordingly.

no luck.

ab kyaa karey?

?
LL
