In the GUI I just point to this script: #!/usr/bin/env bash (conky -p 5) & (sleep 3s && tint2) & (sleep 3s && nm-applet) & (sleep 10s && cpu-usage-alert) & (sleep 3s && /home/vasa1/.dropbox-dist/dropbox) & I'm going to pass on your solution to the poster but it would be nice to see some new/old faces at ubuntuforums.org :)
