Re: Gnome startup?



Thanks, Vitaliy.
gnome-session-properties says 'authentication rejected' etc.

I did this other method, and now when I start up, it brings up my
program's icon (firestarter), but I can't find the program open.  I
select run, and it asks for root password and then runs.
Is there something special I have to do for a program that requires root?

Pure gnome way:
  run gnome-session-properties
The other way:
  cd ~/.config/autostart/
  and create there file with extension `desktop` i.e. `gaim.desktop`
    than open this file in text editor and write:
-------start gaim.desktop listing---------
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Some name which you like
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Exec=gaim
--------end gaim.desktop listing----------

and, finally `chmod u+x gaim.desktop`

second method will work with some other DE
