multiple issues cant seem to resolve

when using xautolock i added this

exec xautolock -locker slimlock -time 1

to my ~/.xinitrc file but the screen never autolocks. i do have slimlock installed. i know i can put the command in a terminal but then the window sits open. how else can i automatically start this?

my other issue is for some reason some windows dont follow the themes that i have set. i chose the glossy widget style from lxappearance (i use lxde) and some windows dont have the themed buttons like they should. many work fine but then others such as lxtask do not they have flat old style buttons and menus. any ideas what might have caused this to happen?

Please post your ~/.xinitrc.

~/.xinitrc

exec ck-launch-session startlxde
exec xautolock -locker slimlock -time 1

not sure where to start looking for the other issue though.

Re: multiple issues cant seem to resolve

Have you tried something like

exec xautolock -locker slimlock -time 1
exec ck-launch-session startlxde

or

exec xautolock -locker slimlock -time 1 &
exec ck-launch-session startlxde

?

Re: multiple issues cant seem to resolve

Since exec replaces the current shell/program with the one specified as an argument, xautolock won't be executed. The following should work:

xautolock -locker smlimlock -time 1 &
exec ck-launch-session startlxde

As for the lxappearence issues, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=123630 seems to deal with a similar issue.

Re: multiple issues cant seem to resolve

seems swapping the order and putting xautolock in the background worked. as far as lxappearance i got a bit confused by the other link. i dont actually have a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file in my home directory. does it just need created?

It was just a guess on my side. That thread doesn't provide a clear solution, so if you think it's not related better forget that I mentioned it ;P
