Hi

Check if your needs can be fit by LXSessionEdit, otherwise have a look at ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart. (hint:every command with a @ in front of it will be restarted when it crashes)

For global changes (multiuser ...), you could also edit /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart.

Hi,

I'm trying to do the same to autostart fbxkb( a panel keyboard switcher), but I cannot find the ~/.config/lxsession folder. May I create it?

I just created the file. It works!!
Forgot my previous post.

For global changes (multiuser ...), you could also edit /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart.

The wiki says that it should be in /usr/share/lxsession/<Profile name> (being in this case the LXDE profile), which I tried in Gentoo and doesn't work.

I don't think that /etc is a good place to place those files.
