Starting program on startup with gdm and fluxbox?
Quick question. My friend that runs linux uses GDM. I want to startup idesk when fluxbox starts. I login into a text screen, so I just use .xinitrc, but I have no idea what to do with gdm. I read that xdm just runs ~/.xsession, so I tried that but no go. Anyone know what I should do?

go to
/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions create a file called Fluxbox Inside the file, write a simple script like exec fluxbox restart. then hopefully you will have a choice in the menu of gdm for fluxbox. I hope it helps. |
Thanks, so I can just add idesk & at the end then.

If you are using one of the development versions of fluxbox (.9x), you can add idesk to the ~/.fluxbox/apps file. Check out the fluxbox documentation for the apps file syntax

Na, 0.1.14, what I ended up doing was going into /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession . In there it had all the different wm you could start, so for the fluxbox command i just added idesk & right before it, worked like a charm :)
