This ought to be easy but I can't figure it out.

How do I get the iconbox to launch with xfce4 instead of having to start it from the command line? Is there anywhere I should put a script for this and any other program I want launched on startup?

The xfce manual can only be described as cryptic.

Happy new year y'all.

Your probably right about there being a script you can edit. I took a look at "startxfce4" and decided I didn't want to mess with it. I'm using XFCE 4.2rc3 right now - But some of these procedures may apply.

1. I can't remember if Icon Box was a selectable from the "add item"
to the panel option accessed by placing the mouse arrow on an


   item in the panel and right clicking the mouse button.  Just
   thought I'd mention that in case you haven't tried it.


2. You can install a launcher onto the panel. This is a little bit easier than starting it from the commandline. This has worked for me in RC3. Once I ran iconbox I then quit XFCE selecting the save session option. Icon box was up and running when I ran XFCE again. I then removed the launcher from the panel, quit XFCE again - this time I deselected the save session option. Icon Box now runs automatically now each time I run XFCE.


I do hope someone else has some better suggestions. :)
