I use a shell script for auto starting. Here is a basic example. I use xdotool for waiting until a program is initialized. I added the paramater `--onlyvisible' to xdotool. It works much safer. https://github.com/fhaun/config-misc/blob/master/i3-stuff/auto-start-for-i3-simple For a more complex autostart file have a look one level up in my git. Frank
