Hey could you describe your startup script? Or point me to some
documentation on start-up scripts for xfce4...or is it just standard
bash code.
I understand the GAIM=`which gaim`....basically you are setting a
variable to the command to run your program. So if I wanted to start
Evolution, I would type EVO=`which evolution`??? Or whatever program I
want. However, what does the SCR_CMD=`which screen` do? What is
screen? And why do you start all your programs with kstart? What is
kstart? (sorry for so many questions) Basically could you describe this
line:
$KSTART --window '*screen*' --desktop 1 --maximize $XTERM -e $SCR_CMD -R
&
If I can understand this, then I could write my own. If I wanted to
start evolution on desktop 1 then I would write:
EVO=`which evolution`
--desktop 1 --maximize $EVO &
Just a guess.
Thanks for any help on this.
Later
P.S.

I agree that we should call it x-face. That is what I have been doing.
X-face is my new favourite thing about Linux and I love telling people
about it....however I don't want to have to say x-f-c-e every time I say
it!! :)
