-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have two sorts of problems involved in getting the startup stsuff right, and because I don't really understand how Gnome handles that, I'm not doing a very good job of this. Let me explain the two problems, they might even have a single answer (I hope). First, the Konsoles I run. I like the KDE Konsole over the gnome-terminal, but I think my problem would be the same for either: I run a 3X3 desktop (9 of them). I want one Konsole on desktop 2 (with 6 terminals) and another one on desktop 3, with 4 desktops. My problem is, they all seem to go to the same desktop. It's very often desktop 2, but sometimes its 1 (hasn't been 3 yet). I also want to run a regular xterm on both desktop 1 and 5, run from a tiny one-line script in my home/bin I call mkterm. My problem here is that they never do where I want them to go, and I haven't any idea whatsoever how to control the placement of these guys. Another problem is that, very often, extra items get run seemingly on their own. Something like having 4 of the xterms show up on desktops 1 and 5, and the only way I can detect this is to go desktop to desktop, moving everything I see to check if there are too many somewhere. Happens sometimes with the Konsoles also, but the xterms do it more often. The only way I have them start up is because I manually set everything up on my first session, and relied on metacity's memory to restart everything. The two browsers I have work very, very reliably for this, never having extra sessions or being in the wrong desktop. So, if you could point me at a doc which could smarten me up, I'd appreciate it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhtSjMACgkQz62J6PPcoOnyXQCdH1//VCxVvdAuozPn+TbGaL1B ZUAAn1MsPh6+AyUAv0XDTcgXZSi/DBSm =aWp7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
