Making programs start when Enlightenment starts

    I've got this weird mutant setup at the moment. I'm using the Platinum theme in Enlightenment, and every time I start I launch a terminal window and type
    kdesktop --x-root && panel

    to get things going. Is there any file I could dump this in to automate things?

    Thanks in advance

    It depends...
    How are you starting X at the moment ?
    kde/gdm/xdm/startx/... ?

    you could try putting it in ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession

    probably better backgrounding them actually...

    command2 &

    I'm using kdm, but I only want to do this when I start Enlightenment - is this possible with .xinitrc? How'd I go about it?

    As for backgrounding them, the Gnome Panel spits out so much debugging rubbish that the terminal gets knocked out of action even with them in the background, so I don't bother.

    *scratches head*
    I don't have kde/kdm on this box, I'll have to get back to you after
    checking how the startup scripts work again...

    Dang memory :rolleyes:
