Alternatively you can set up a shell script (like a batch file in windows) to do the job. Not only does linux have shell scripts but there are a variety of shells to choose from! Here's a simple example:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
xterm -e links &
amsn &
This simple script (when run from x) will start an x-term with the links web browser running on it and also load amsn (the MSN client). Both apps are started in the background (hence the &'s).
Once the file is created (we'll call it 'myscript') it needs to be made executable. This is done with the chmod command:
+x means add execute permission.
However what you want to do can be done better either using the method Megaspaz has outlined, or if you start at the console by default (i.e. not at the graphical login prompt) by adding the lines:
Code:
wineboot &
exec startkde
to your ~/.xinitrc file. This will only work if you don't login using gdm/xdm/kdm.
