Dear folks, I have resurrected an old AMD-K6 Machine and have installed FreeBSD 9.2 on it and have installed icewm as the desktop. Simple desktop. I have installed an application tilem2 which is a calculator emulator found in /usr/ports/emulators/tilem/ On other machines I have a desktop entry in ~/.config/autostart/ $ cat ~/.config/autostart/tilem2.desktop [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Exec=/usr/local/bin/tilem2 Hidden=false X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true Name[en_US]=tilem2 Name=tilem2 Comment[en_US]=tilem2 Comment=tilem2 $ I created a file called startup which includes #!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/tilem2 & and it is executable, I also copied this file to ~/.icewm/startup but tilem2 does not launch at startup. Any ideas/tips to fix this are greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Antonio
