Does anyone knows how to start automatically ksmoothdock at startup ?

That's easy once you know.

 

Just make a script that will launch ksmoothdock, and dump that script into /home/'you'/.kde/autostart/

 

You can use that to start anything you want.

 

Alternatively, there is an option to 'restore last session' on start, instead of a clean desktop. That will restart anything you had running last time you shut down. I reccomend the autostart option though, seems less problematic to me.

Well how do you make the script ? I have to say that i do not know about any programming.

Open up your favorite text editor, kate, kwrite emacs vi. Whatever tickles your pickle.

 

The first line of the script should be

#!/bin/bash

 

AFter that, just put whatever command you want executed, and hit return. Each command should be on it's own line, and they will execute one at a time. So, if the command is ksmoothdock (I'm only guessing at what the command is, since I don't use ksmoothdock myself) then the script would have 3 lines.

 

#!/bin/bash

ksmoothdock

 

and the last line would be blank. Save that as whatever.sh and put it in /home/'you/.kde/Autostart/ and be aure 'Autostart' is capitalized, I didn't do that before, but I should have.
