Suppress startup notification in Gnome?
While a program loads, Gnome does two things to inform the user of the startup event:
1. It displays a busy cursor when the mouse is in the panel, 2. and it also displays a "Starting $ProgramName" button in the window list applet. I presume that is behavior is caused by the startup notification[1] events fired by the program. How do I stop this behavior with specific programs or BASH scripts that? Note that I found information describing how to do the opposite, force startup notification for a program [2]. That doesn't help, tho. How do I suppress startup notification in Gnome? I'm new to Linux (user since Nov. 31, 2003), but I learn quickly. [1] freedesktop.org/Software/startup-notification [2] mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2003-February/msg00807.html |
Figured it out
Nevermind, I figured it out. Basically, I just looked for the *.desktop file that represented the link on the gnome panel. I then edited the file in a text editor (I choose gedit), adding the line:
Code:
StartupNotify=false Code:
StartupNotify=true :newbie: |
