How it work?
Start > More Applications (Weitere Anwendungen) > Settings (Einstellungen) > LXAutostart



At first time it's generate a .desktop file, and text file called lxautostart.sh



If you click no, it will end...



When it's exists, you get this messages:



In this dialog you can add the applications what you want to start:



If you click on "schließen" close, it's save your input, and display it in the next window.
Close it, exit your session, and start new, now it should start your favorite applications
Good luck

and please excuse my wrong words

A minor issue here:
There was not a /home/<user>/.config/autostart directory in my LXDE so cat could not write there the $HOME/.config/autostart/lxautostart.desktop file.

When I added to lxautostart.sh as line 16

Code: [Select]

mkdir -p $HOME/.config/autostartit worked.

Thank you, Leiche!

You read the article in the New PCLinuxOS Magazine?

Under almost every other major desktop environment, it's a relatively simple task to set up applications to automatically start whenever you start the desktop. However, this is not necessarily so under LXDE. In fact, LXDE does not natively have an autostart directory, by default. Thanks to Neal Brooks, author of the PCLinuxOS-LXDE remaster, PCLinuxOS users of LXDE do have this feature already set up for them.

I'm working on a update, is the description good?
Or must change some words?

I see. Yes, I read it but didn't try because I don't need autostart in my LXDE.

Everything is clear but the English is little wrong, I'm sorry  
May be some native English speaking guy here would help with translation? it's not too much of a text.

[Neal ManBear]

PM me with what you need in the English version. I'll be glad to help, Leiche.

Thanks for helping 
New version will come soon, please remove old package with synaptic...

For a better test, should be delete the folder /home/<name>/.config/lxautostart, and the desktop file in /home/<name>/.config/autostart/lxautostart.desktop.

This files will not remove, when you remove the package with synaptic
