KDE
[edit ] Using Shell Scripts
Programs that you wish to autostart on KDE startup need to be placed into ~/.kde/Autostart.
Below is an example of autostarting GAIM written in bash.
~/.kde/Autostart
nano -w gaim
Example contents for gaim:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/gaim
Below is an alternative for the same example, this time using a soft link.
~/.kde/Autostart
ln -s /usr/bin/gaim gaim
You can also put .desktop files here. For example, you can drag a shortcut from the K Menu.
[edit ] Using symbolic links
To Autostart a program in KDE you simply need to put a symbolic link to the executable file in the Autostart directory. In most cases this is located at: ~/.kde/Autostart/
If wanted to have xbindkeys start automatically when KDE started then I would locate the the executable file for xbindkeys. In my installization it is located at: /usr/bin/xbindkeys
All you have to do is place a symbolic link in the Autostart directory:
/usr/bin/xbindkeys ~/.kde/Autostart/xbindlink
This command creates a link named "xbindlink" in the Autostart directory that links to the executable located in the /usr/bin/ directory.
Restart KDE and you should be in business. I hope this helps.
