Re: programs to run at X startup
I don't think using ~/.Xsession will work with kdm.
I put the items in ~/.Xsession and things worked fine
with startx. Nothing happens when I start kdm.
There is a /etc/kde2/kdm/Xsession file and I put
a line in it to see if the program would start. Still
no luck. Any ideas?
