xdg autostart application

Hi, I'm in the progress of building my own 'DE' based on compiz fusion, a panel and systray that I still need to decide on (pypanel,tint2, ...), etc.

But one thing I cannot seem to find is a script/tool to autostart applications in an xdg compliant way (using .desktop files in /etc/xdg/autostart/ and $XDG_CONFIG/autostart).  Does anyone know of an utility that does just that?

I wouldn't mind writing my own implementation (in sh or something) but if it already exists, it would be nice.

Re: xdg autostart application

I couldn't find anything so I started writing my own script for it.  See http://github.com/Dieterbe/dautostart/  Note: it doesn't work yet! :-)

Re: xdg autostart application

Note for you, neither PyPanel nor tint work with Compiz's effects in my testing (window preview image) sad

Avant Window Navigator works, though.

Good luck!

Re: xdg autostart application

D'oh..
just found out that Openbox comes with a tool called 'xdg-autostart' which is almost exactly the same as dautostart, but written in Python...

Oh well, I'm gonna keep using dautostart, it works for me smile
