im currently using fluxbox, and i want to know how i can startup programs when i login from gdm/kdm/xdm, i tried .xinitrc and .xsession, there isnt a fluxbox Autostart, i cant think of anywhere else to put X startup programs (im thinking about amsn and xscreensaver here)

I recently solved this "misfeature" (i.e. .xinitrc not working) like this:
| Code: |
/etc/X11/Sessions/enlightenment:
#!/bin/sh
. ~/.xsession
# put programs that have to be run for every user running enlightenment here
/usr/bin/enlightenment
|
Make sure .xsession returns immediately (i.e. execute programs in there with &).
The last program run in the above script should be your WM, without &, since the end of this script is the end of your session.
Cheers

You can use the | Quote: | | Unofficial 'Remember Patch' |
which adds a submenu called Startup and some other little things.
