lxde startup applications

[nitrofurano]

How can i define startup applications (and terminal commands) when LXDE boots?

You can autostart by adding to:
/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

A less global way would be to make a *.desktop file in the ~/.config/autostart folder. Here's an example of my nitrogen.desktop file:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.9.4
Type=Application
Name=nitrogen
Comment=
Exec=nitrogen --restore
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Hidden=false

I don't know where is the call to these files made. Since I first installed XFCE and then LXDE I already had my XFCE autostarted apps working and it seems that both DE's modify and look in these locations for commands to run after logging in.

It's well-documented in the wiki:

Is there a way to autostart an application on a certain virtual desktop?

There's now a GUI. I can't find it on the menu, but the command is lxsession-edit.
