This is starting to piss me off... Rebooting the computer will get me a brand new "~/.config/autostart/gtk-redshift.desktop" file, which starts to conflict with the other instance from my autostart file (I'm using Openbox):
gtk-redshift -l 44.42:26.10 -b 1.0 -g 1.0 -t 6500:3800 -m vidmode &
The side effect of having two instances (both showing in the tray) is that the screen starts to flicker, even in broad daylight.
I'm thinking that maybe I should downgrade the redshift package.

I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).

1: Remove or comment out the gtk-redshift command in ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh
2: Set up your preferences in ~/.config/redshift.conf
3: Allow ~/.config/autostart/gtk-redshift.desktop to start redshift
That's what I do.

I have redshift 1.7-5 installed and start it from .xinitrc and don’t have this problem, but I’m using Xfce. (I don’t start gtk-redshift but redshift.) No config file.

If it's in your .config file/directory, that is open for whichever DE/WM will pick it up. Redshift is kinda tricky to get it to behave right. It needs some way of resetting itself and not reloading itself on the same X window, but if I want to run it on another X window at the same time it has to leave that option open.
How do you set up a redshift.conf file? I don't see how the configuration file is supposed to be set up.

I may have to CONSOLE you about your usage of ridiculously easy graphical interfaces...
Look ma, no mouse.

From http://jonls.dk/2010/10/redshift-1-6-released/
CONFIGURATION FILE
Redshift will look for a configuration file in “~/.config/redshift.conf” (or in XDG_CONFIG_HOME if that has been set). A different configuration file can be loaded with the command line option “-c”. Here is an example:
; Global settings
[redshift]
temp-day=5700
temp-night=3500
transition=1
gamma=0.8:0.7:0.8
location-provider=manual
adjustment-method=vidmode
; The location provider and adjustment method settings
; are in their own sections.
[manual]
lat=55.0
lon=12.0
; In this example screen 1 is adjusted by vidmode. Note
; that the numbering starts from 0, so this is actually
; the second screen.
[vidmode]
screen=1

Thanks. I uncommented the entry from the Openbox autostart file and created a "~/.config/redshift.conf" file:
; Global settings
[redshift]
temp-day=6500
temp-night=3800
transition=1
gamma=1.0
location-provider=manual
adjustment-method=vidmode
; The location provider and adjustment method settings
; are in their own sections.
[manual]
lat=44.42
lon=26.10
; In this example screen 1 is adjusted by vidmode. Note
; that the numbering starts from 0, so this is actually
; the second screen.
[vidmode]
screen=0
Works ok now.
The only thing that bothers me is that even if I right click the tray icon and check or uncheck "Autostart", it still starts automatically from "~/.config/autostart". But that's probably a bug or something. Oh, well... Marking it as solved.
