wbar will not autostart at login

[charsan2]

Hi,

I was trying to use wbar and it works, but it won't start at login.

[Lee2010]

Go to XFCE Settings Manager - Session and Startup

Then switch to the Application Autostart tab and at the bottom of the window push add

A window should pop up

Name - Wbar

Description - Application Launch Bar

Command - wbar

Log out and back in should work now

Did that, did not work.

Let's try this the old fashioned way...

got to /home/username/.config/autostart/

create a wbar.desktop file and in it paste these lines

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

Thank you, I will try this.

Little question...
Do you use wbarconf?

Yes I do. Now I am not sure what happened but the first way of setting it to autostart worked, strange

Sometimes wbar goes strange ways, but hey when it's work then is good, or not?

Well it's back to it's old behavior

You know I used wbar until I started using Awn. I know it's not "light" but it can be run without compiz running and works great.

(Technically on an older machine I ran Avant Window Navigator + xcompmgr and had the 3d panel look.)

Just an option because Awn has a box that asks if you want to autostart it.

I probably will move to that thank you

return to your wbar problem...
Post please the .desktop entrys from /usr/share/aplications
and, from /home/username/.config/autostart/
and, the file from your /home/username/.wbar
After that, we can see was goes wrong
