Are you talking about gkrellm?

umm...idk if i knew what that was maybe lol

Crashed_Again · 05-18-2003, 06:35 PM

Never mind...sorry about that. I see your .xinitrc file looks like this:

wmblob -w &
wmCalClock -tc grey &
wmcpuload &
wmmemload &
wmappl &

yet they do not appear on the screen in that order. Sorry I can't help. I don't know what applications those are.

i have never used it before, i have sepearatley downloaded dockapps, i just want them to appear in an order that like, the blob is at the top, the cpuload is next then the memory load etc...

*edit*

just saw your post, its ok, thanks for all your help!

I think they'll each appear once they've constructed their displays, so the lighter faster code ones will list first. Unless there's an option with your window manager, I think you may need to write a script which waits between executing each app.

hmm ok, thats what i thought. Well thanks

im trying to get xterm to load when i start blackbox. my .xinitrc looks like:

exec blackbox
xterm &

ive tried:
blackbox
xterm &

and

blackbox
exec xterm &

but when i start x i dont see the terminal window. maybe im missing something here but doesnt the "&" mean background process? trying to get xterm window to automatically load after blackbox is done loading.

maybe try it with a different program and see if it works, maybe just xterm is weird and not working?

DiZASTiX · 05-20-2003, 07:37 PM

just checked my .xinitrc, I also have that exact same line and xterm stars up for me. Stupid question, but are you sure that "xterm" is a working command? lol, maybe for some strange reason its not
