Hi! I want to add 2 aplications to execute when i loged in, but my OpenSuse 12.1 XFCE 4.8 don’t have the Startup Manager like Gnome, how can i do this?

Don’t you see an icon for “Session and Startup” in XFCE settings manager? If you can not find it, type:

$ xfce4-session-settings

Then open the tab “Application Autostart” and click on ‘Add’.

Alternately you can create a .desktop file and put it in ~/.config/autostart.

Here’s an example:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Main Console
Comment=Run a terminal in the background
Exec=terminal-wrapper
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Hidden=**false**
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;**XFCE**;LXDE;
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

Replace the text in red with your command. Setting “Hidden” to true will prevent this application from starting under XFCE. Thus it should either be false or this key should not exist.

When i do that i get this message:

Unable to contact settings server
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the
remote application did not send a reply, the message
bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply
timeout expired, or the network connection
was broken.

When you do what? With which application/command?
