hi all..
at http://docs.kde.org/en/HEAD/kdebase/faq/configure.html#id2875809 under the
topic of "9.10. How do I run a program at KDE startup?" it covers how to run
things via `kde-config --localprefix`/env and `kde-config --prefix`/env, but
not the Autostart folder. could we add something akin to this to the topic:
If you wish to start a program after KDE has started, you may want to use the
Autostart folder. To add entries to the Autostart folder:
1. open up Konqueror
2. go under the Go menu and select Autostart
3. right click in the window view area and select Create New / File / Link to
Application
4. click on the Application tab in the window that appears and enter the
command to run in the Command entry
also, i wonder if linking every instance of $KDEHOME and $KDEDIR to an entry
showing how to find out what those are using kde-config and what they default
to (if anything) would be a good idea eventually? it's kind of a 101 thing to
know when starting to root around in KDE =)
btw, we're starting to use the FAQ more often on IRC. i'm sure Lauri will
smile at that. maybe next i'll be using FreeBSD? ;-)
