[gentoo-user] Loading programs at X startup

[gentoo-user] Loading programs at X startup

[Rafael Fernández López]

Hi,

I've two questions related, but not the same.

1st question: I'd like to know how to run at X.org startup some apps, like
(~/.bashrc) at bash login. I'd like to run, for example, xcompmgr -c at
X.org startup always, or other programs, and I'd like to know if there is
kind of file where the programs to be runned at startup can be introduced.

2nd question: I'd like to know if there is some way of executing a window
at X.org startup (for logging in, AND IS NOT xdm, gdm or kdm). There is a
server with user accounts, if it logs in with "local_user" via xdm, gdm or
kdm it should open up a dialog where the user must log in (it will check
that databse) to access her/his system. In the case that the log in
failed, it should reload xdm, gdm or kdm (say /etc/init.d/xdm restart).

Thank you,
Rafael Fernández López.

I put them in ~/.xinitrc

Depends on how you start X.  If you use the 'startx' command, put them 
in ~/.xinitrc.  If you log in through xdm, put them in ~/.xsession.

Don't know, sorry.  Why would you want them to have to enter their 
uname/pw *twice* just to log in, though?
