There are a few ways to do this with GNOME: 1. Start the screensaver, then start gnome-session-properties and save your current session. 2. Start the screensaver, then save your session when logging out. 3. Put a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart (for all users) or ~/.config/autostart (per user). Or use a link to an existing .desktop file instead. -- Liam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
