Starup programs


Ok this may be an easy fix and I am sure its on this board somewhere just can't find it. I am guessing I will have to edit a config file in /.kde/config but my dilemma is I want to startup with the smart package updater running instead of zen-updater. Would really like to not have to type a root password too but right now no biggy either way. Anyone know where I should start.

All you need to do is right click on the Zen Updater, click the option to close it and when asked whether you want it to run at start up, just click on no. As for running smart without the root password, I don't think its possible since its a program that requires a root privileges in order to run.

Here is a how-to for anyone who has this question again. http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Smart redazz thanks for the reply however zen doesn't ask if you want to run at startup like the others do. Thinking suse wanted to force you to use it and then decided it really blowz and through in a wiki on how to fix it.
