For the record...

if you're using the 'startx' command, and not the GUI login, you can edit your ~/.xinitrc file to launch programs when x is started.

Er, I'm at work right now, so forgive the question...where is the autostart folder located?

Right from the gkrellm homepage:

[tt]
Start GKrellM with kstart:
kstart --window gkrellm --alldesktops --ontop --skiptaskbar /usr/bin/gkrellm
[/tt]

@autostart:
/opt/kde3/share/autostart

Btw: Where does kstart store its entries? How can I remove a program I've set up with kstart?

Thanks, Black666, for the autostart info.

Well in kde 2.2 the autostart folder is in the .kde folder.
