GAIM does not auto start

phillips321 · 01-24-2005, 04:46 PM

Hi guys

I would like GAIM to autostart each time i reboot.

I have looked through the settings in GAIM and cant seem to find a bloody thing.

Gaim v1.1.2

I have been told to look in Services and see if GAIM in in there but i cant seem to find it.

How do i make gaim run each time linux loads?

Windows simply has a startup folder in the start menu, anything similar to this is linux?

Cheers for your help guys

kde or gnome?

either way, i wonder if this applies to FC (because your profile says you use fedora):

Quote:

RedHat puts both KDE and GNOME in /usr, so both have their to-be-started apps in /usr/share/autostart

also:
/usr/share/kde/autostart
/usr/share/gnome/autostart
/usr/share/autostart

~/.local/autostart
~/.gnome2/autostart (or maybe ~/.local/gnome/autostart ?)
~/.kde/autostart (or maybe ~/.local/kde/autostart ?)
