Take a look at my configuration: http://www.xsteve.at/prg/stumpwm/ I don't start the applications at startup. However they are started using run-or-raise when I first use them. I am happy with this approach. You could try to use run-shell-command to start an application. I use it for example to do this on startup: (run-shell-command "setxkbmap -model evdev") Stefan. _______________________________________________ Stumpwm-devel mailing list Stumpwm-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/stumpwm-devel
