Re: How to start an application automatically after X is started up?



Hi,
  I have tried to add a line "xscreensaver -no-splash &" in the ~/.xsession file
but the X cannot be started up currectly, it will return to the tty1 finally after
the "startx" command was issued.
  But now the problem is solved, I created a file "98scrsvd" with a line
"xscreensaver -no-splash &" in it in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ and now it works
well.
  The prefix "98" indicates it will be sourced at last (the X is already started up).
  But I am still not very clear what is the really sequence and usage of those .xinitrc
and the .xsession files, the manual seems not very much helpful. Anyone can explain
this to me? Thx a lot!
