12 I'm afraid this may not directly answer your question (because I am not
13 familiar with Gnome) but this is how it works for Fluxbox:
14
15 I start my apps by placing them in ~/.fluxbox/startup (I use fluxbox as a WM).
16 So, I place the dockapps that I want starting before the /usr/bin/fluxbox
17 command therein:
18 ====================================
19 wmpower &
20 wmnd &
21
22 # And last but not least we start fluxbox.
23 # Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.
24
25 exec /usr/bin/fluxbox
26 ====================================
27
28 Is there perhaps an equivalent in Gnome?
