Here's the "GUI" way to do it (at least I think this takes the least amount of knowledge and time). Get a nice clean desktop (so you can right click on it) and right click and select "Create New -> Link to application" Now you have a dialog to create a "Desktop link" On the "General" tab, Enter the Name as you would like it to appear and select an icon (all optional) On the "Execute" tab enter /usr/bin/mutt (or optionally browse for the executable) for the command and check the "Run in terminal" checkbox. Click on OK and you will now have a new application icon on your desktop. Test this icon to ensure that it executes as desired and tweak if necessary. Once you're satisfied that this is working fine, go into Konqueror (or your favorite file manager) and move that icon to the ~/Desktop/Autostart directory. Now you can further test it by logging out and back in. It should start your program just as though you clicked on that icon you created earlier. -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.
