Dear all,

In order not to invoke thunderbird and firefox manually when gnome starts, I
tried to save the current settings when I log out.  But gnome says it can
not save thunderbird and firefox settings.

I also tried to start thunderbird and firefox in .xsession:
...
# thunderbird and firefox
thunderbird &
firefox &

exec gnome-session


That's OK.  But since thunderbird starts before gnome, the fonts in
thunderbird is ugly.  Is there any way to start thunderbird after gnome?

Best regards,

You can try starting gnome-settings-manager before firefox and
thunderbird (or was it gnome-settings-daemon? I don't remember, but I'm
sure that you can see which one exists on your system), which does
things like load font configuration for apps if its started.

You can also add firefox and thunderbird to the session, there is a
session manager somewhere in the menues in gnome, which has a tab where
you can add auto-starting apps.

On my gnome desktop, the session manager comes up from the "Desktop->Preferences->Sessions". The "Startup Programs" Tab might be what you're looking for. Cheers.
