I am using the MATE desktop on Debian Stretch.
I wish to run a user specific script each time a specific user logs in.
The script is known to work because I manually run it each and every
time I login.
The MATE help system lacks a usable index making finding a specific
option difficult.
One eventually arrives at
Desktop User Guide » Desktop Sessions » Setting Programs to Start
Automatically When You Log In »
which has a section titled "Startup Programs Tab" which says "You can
use the Startup Programs tab to add, modify, and remove startup programs."
The previous screen had said "The Sessions preference tool allows you to
define which programs are started automatically when you log in."
*NOWHERE* does the "help system" give Debian applicable instructions for
getting to this "Sessions preference tool". Elsewhere in the "help
system" reference is made to something similar called "System Manager".
But nothing on how to access it either.
Guidance from a MATE user would be appreciated.
TIA
