dear all, after a user successfully logs in to a kde desktop, i want the system to automatically run a script, launch some applications, etc.
for this, a few days ago i tried customising rc.local, until i realized rc.local does its stuff *before* startx. then, i google-searched, and discovered i need to have a hidden script file, .xinitrc in the home directory, which would do the trick. the file did not exist, so i created it. i tried this, and it did not work either. finally, i re-googled and discovered a hidden .xsession file needs to be created in the home directory that handles this. well, that does not work either. as a test, i am only asking the script to launch the konsole, so i know the script is being initialised. i have tried both the 'konsole' command, as well as the 'exec konsole' command. meanwhile, thanks raj for the tip on xhost and xauth. just read through the man pages of both commands. :-) LL _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
