Hello Gilber, i tested this file: ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart
with a this content: echo hello world and it was just fine. there is no point in front of autostart neither a .sh at the end. Also no dot at GNUstep. And if you want to change this directory, use GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT like herre: http://bugs.windowmaker.info/issues/19 Nice project, btw. Looking forward to test it Greetings 2009/11/18 Ed Snyder <[email protected]> > On Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:12:47 +0100 > Gilbert <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:33:54 +0100 > > didier gaumet <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Le Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:44:41 +0000, > > > Ed Snyder <[email protected]> a > > > écrit : > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > New to the list, but have a question... > > > > > > > > Does the autostart.sh > > > > > > I suppose you mean xdg autostart > > > > > > > work in Window Maker? > > > > > > in this case: no > > > > > > > When I log in, it ignores > > > > the file.
