Hi, new to LXDE; Sorry, I searched around & still can't find how to add new start up applications. I set up a custom Wbar for my Peppermint ICE and would like my exec command to auto start. Should be in ~/.config/autostart ?? but don't see that file. Thanks.

I'm doing this from memory so one of the other mods (or users) can correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe the autostart you are looking for is:



You should be able to add anything there you need and save the file. Or you can create .desktop files to launch programs at startup.

The idea is to drop .desktop launchers into the autostart folder; these are exec'd on login. If your command has a *.desktop launcher that works appropriately (it'll be in /usr/share/applications) then the most straightforward way of having Wbar autostart at login is to copy it over to ~/.config/autostart. Failing that then another option is to create a file at



which openbox will run when it starts up. Here's an example from Trent's tutorial about setting up Openbox to work without lxde.



As you can see openbox pretty much just runs through the script and exec's the commands you put in. Note the sleep for two seconds before lxpanel gets started; you might need to do this with your Wbar if you encounter instability when running it straight away.

Hope that's helpful. Note that there are other ways of getting things to autostart on login; I sometimes feel too many. See the reply that got posted while I drafted this, their's is a system-wide solution. There are still others.

Thanks, worked like a charm Now just need to add a delay to its startup.



Thanks for the additional options

you should be able to add the delay using

Thanks!
