[SOLVED]nm-applet not starting anymore

After update (wow that's weird) another problem is that nm-applet is not starting anymore,
normally to start it I use .xinitrc :
]$ cat .xinitrc | grep nm
(sleep 3 && /usr/bin/nm-applet  --sm-disable )

I'm using openbox. While the other .xinitrc programs are shown on LXPanel
Not seeing anything on the logs, and when I run it on a terminal it runs without problem.

Please post your entire .xinitrc file. And please use [ code ] tags.

You know Openbox has an autostart file, right? You could try starting nm-applet there.

Re: [SOLVED]nm-applet not starting anymore

Have you tried to execute it from the autostart config file, from openbox?
Maybe it works that way for you., and I always did it like that, when I used openbox.
With i3WM I use now, I also let the WM start it, and at the moment it's manual.

edit, second time today, must type faster

Yes , after adding it on openbox autostart it works, but it's weird as should have worked from .xinitrc as it has done until now while nothign was changed to the config.

Re: [SOLVED]nm-applet not starting anymore

I can't tell you why, and it's supposed to work I guess, but I tend to always use WM autostart files for these 'autostarters'
