screenlets autostart, and multiple instances starting?

[blamothe]

hi. i've installed screenlets and i've got a bunch of screenlets that i'd like to run. i've clicked the checkbox for those specific screenlets to start automatically when i "log in", but it doesn't work. i'm running compiz-fusion stand alone and i have screenlets & as a line in my .xinitrc. when i startx, none of the screenlets start, but the screenlets-manager pops up and i have to manually select every screenlet that i want run each time i start x.

also, another annoyance is that, for a few screenlets, two copies start when i launch. these are each screenlets for which i had two copies open at one time, but i can't figure out a way to let the system know that i only want one copy of the screenlet. thanks a lot.

*bump*

also, here is my xinitrc

I've added a .desktop file to my ~/.config/autostart directory with the actual command e.g., Exec= python -u /home/user/.screenlets/ACPIBattery/ACPIBatteryScreenlet.py

It isn't pretty, but it works.

I'm also using Openbox, so I keep all my screenlets in the "last" desktop, which I use as a startup default.


Incidentally, I'm looking for a replacement of screenlets, any ideas would be welcome!
