The same does not happen with xbattbar. You'll have to find another method for things you wish to start automatically as root while logged in as another user, most of them less then desireable. However, that probably isn't the issue. I don't use xbattbar but I doubt there is any compelling reason it has to be started as root. Check in /dev and see who has rights to r/w apm and apmctl (on 4.x). I believe the default is root and members of operator. Make yourself a member of the operator group. If the permissions aren't like that on your system them change them accordingly under 4.x or tweak /etc/devfs.conf on 5.x (not sure where in the 5.x series this started certainly 5.2 and beyond) As to your question... Look in /usr/local/share/apps/kdm/sessions and see what kdm does for xfce. kdm invokes /usr/X11R6/bin/startxfce4. Take a look at startxfce4. It essentially looks for $HOME/.config/xinitrc, if not found it invokes /usr/X11R6/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc. The default install doesn't create the former. If you want to change the startup then grab a copy of the latter creating the former and alter as desired. -Darren __ Darren Henderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Help fight junk e-mail, visit http://www.cauce.org/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Starting applications automaticaly
As far as the xhost command goes, have you tried putting a at the end, i.e. xhost +, su, xbattbar That backgrounds the job, which should allow you to close the xterm from which it sprang (I could be wrong as I'm a newbie as well).

I know this is probably in the handbook (which I admittedly have not read in its entirety), but I can not find anything in the ToC, the index, or from searching Google. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing? Any help, even if it is just a reference to the proper place to look in the handbook, would be greatly appreciated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Starting applications automaticaly
I don't know what script file starts xfce. I start it by typing kdm. Then I have an option of starting kde or xfce. There is no .xinitrc on my computer, but there is a .kderc in my home directory. I tried adding a line there that had xbattbar , but that didn't work. I also noticed that there is an Autostart directory under the .kde directory in my home directory. Do I need to add a script there? If so, what would this script look like? -Original Message- From: Dan Nelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2005 8:37 PM To: Brian Kinsey Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Starting applications automaticaly In the last episode (Apr 16), Brian Kinsey said: I am using xfce on FreeBSD 5.3.
