Everything in my rc.local works like a champ.

I'm curious how this works for you but not for Mr. Belahcene and not for me.

Because I don't have any GUI app activations in my rc.local. Only daemons and other CLI apps. Here's what mine looks like:

***** BEGINNING OF rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e

echo 2100000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
cpufreq-set -g ondemand

python /usr/local/bin/cpu_temp_daemon.py

#if [ -f /data/03/swap/swap003.swap ]; then
#    swapon -v /data/03/swap/swap003.swap
#fi

#if [ -f /data/03/swap/swap004.swap ]; then
#    swapon -v /data/03/swap/swap004.swap
#fi

chown me:me /data/private

exit 0
****** END OF rc.local

I've a Debian 4.0 (Etch mostly) system with sysv-rc installed
and /etc/rc.local is not called by default. I added a call in
/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh to get it executed because the suggestion in
the Debian FAQ sect. 10.6 which says to put a script in /etc/init.d/
then use update-rc.d to set the links seemed over complex for my needs.

Do you have the file-rc package installed instead of sysv-rc?
