fusion-icon and xfce
how can I get fusion-icon to start with xfce?
First I tried to edit the xfce config file and make it load fusion-icon instead of xfwn4 but that just make xfce load with a screwed up version of xfwm4.
When I add it to autostarted applications it says error writing autostart/compiz.de but when I use the terminal and do su then afce4-autostart-editor I can edit it? But it still wont work.

Re: fusion-icon and xfce
It's always worked from autostarted applications here. Do you have other things in there? "Error writing autostart/compiz.de" (presumably "compiz.desktop") makes sound like it might be a permissions issue on ~/.config/autostart/ to me.

Re: fusion-icon and xfce
I just went to XMenu > Settings> Autostarted Applications and added fusion-icon as an item. No file editing necessary.

Re: fusion-icon and xfce

The easiest way to check that this is the problem in Xfce would be through Thunar: open ~/.config and right-click the autostart folder to open the "Properties" window, and see what it says in the "Permissions" tab. The owner should be your usual user, and permissions should be "Read & Write".
If the owner is something different, you won't be able to change the permissions. I don't think Thunar can change the owner, so open a terminal and, as root,
chown [your user]:users /home/[your home directory]/.config/autostartYou should then be able to change the permissions with Thunar if you need to (it's possible they're set to "Read & Write" already, but for the wrong user).
