Hi all - anyone got any hints on preloading Openoffice.org when X starts, sort of like the galeon -s option ... ? It's great, n'all, but a bit of a pig to start on my 550 K6-3! Failing any built-in, background server type functionality, would "cat > /dev/null &" in my .xinitrc be of any /real/

2002-10-25 Thread Lance Hoffmeyer
I have some programs I wish to run when X starts up. I tried putting these in my .xinitrc but I guess that is the wrong place since they are not being run. Where do I need to put these? I would rather not put them in autostart because I want them to be run no matter which window manager I am
