I think the Application Autostart GUI will only applications which are registered with the system in that way. yes it did. and it has started working. Honest and for true, I tried restarting xfce at least 3 times and it never worked. then this evening i start it up and it worked just fine. ??? The setxkbmap command works for me on the command line, so i don't think permissions have anything to do with it, but here's the permissions anyway. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20336 Dec 25 2013 /usr/bin/setxkbmap Very weird. Maybe some sort of race condition at startup ? The one change I made was to enable the splash screen. Maybe that has something to do with it ? Thanks for the advice.
