nasa01 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi, I have been looking all over the place (I most likely just missed it), it seems like a simple thing -- I would like to start a full screen application as soon as the WM finishes loading up. I realize with a regular app you can use 'remember' settings to get the app to start -- but how do you do this for a full screen app. I wish to do this in E16, but kde will do just as well. I am not shy about editing config files, if that is necessary. I appreciate any hints I can get. Thanks Nasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I don't know for E16, but KDE you do it in the following location: ~/.kde/Autostart put a symlink in here to the app you want to start. An example, you have firefox in /usr/bin, so you would do this: ln -s /usr/bin/firefox ~/.kde/Autostart/firefox That will create a symlink called firefox, and it will start each time you login.

paul Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 check out the apps parameters. I did this with fluxbox and vmware once added vmware --start image --fulscreen (or something like that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
