<tt>A further observation, none of the command line parameters
mentioned below are effect when using Autostart to start xfishtank via
a direct link using properties, regardless of what shows up in the
process table. (Putting quotes around the command didn't help either.)<br>
<br>
However, I created a shell script in the Autostart directory and that
works correctly when I log in:<br>
</tt>
<blockquote><tt>#!/bin/tcsh</tt><br>
<tt>exec /usr/bin/X11/xfishtank -b 64 -f 20 -d</tt><br>

<tt>Perhaps there is some more user-friendly way to add command
parameters to an Autostart object without resorting to a script.<br>

<tt>Greetings KDE-ers,<br>
<br>
I created a program link in Autostart to start xfishtank. I then used
properties to add command line parameters so the entire command is
"xfishtank -b 64 -f 20 -d". I then logged out and logged back in. KDE
started xfishtank with the required parameters as shown by examining
the process table:<br>
</tt>
<blockquote><tt>21989 john S /home/john/.kde/Autostart/xfishtank
-b
64 -f 20 -d</tt><br>
</blockquote>
<tt>However, the "-d" option, which clips the fish to run on the root
window background did not work. Instead, the background was opaque.
When I kill the process and restarted it from a kterm window, using the
exact same command line, it worked fine. <br>
<br>
Can anyone tell me why this happens? <br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
<br>
