AA Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Ok, I have a whole lot of dockapps but how to get them running in the slit, well yes, that I am not sure about. Can you run them automatically when the WM starts or do you have to start them manually...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 You can start most automatically in the slit. On the Fluxbox help/faq page theres a small tutorial on how to do it. I believe its something like /usr/bin/gkrellm -w & to have gkrellm start automatically in the slit. BTW not all apps will run in the slit so you may have to start them otherways.

AA Posted January 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Yeah... but where do you put that command line, I mean surely there is a file that needs editing before it will just start automatically...!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The menu you want to edit is in /home/username here/.fluxbox/menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Either in ~/.xinitrc or an autostart.sh that you create and tell flux to start....the autostart.sh is the way to go if you login or autologin with a dm other than xdm. If you startx from init 3, the ~/.xinitrc will do the trick. http://mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=2423 http://mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=2068 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 I use my own autostart.sh file exclusively. here's a great link: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...ghlight=fluxbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 For those interested, here's a "howto", explaining how to automatically start programs you want at the start of the window manager, whatever it is (Fluxbox, IceWM, ...), but only if you use GDM as a login window: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...p?p=11808#11808 Yves.
