Autostart programs in KDE or GNOME - the manual way

It is easy to add programs in KDE or GNOME to let them start when you log in.


KDE

Change to the KDE autostart directory with:
$ cd ~/.kde/Autostart
and make a symbolic link to the program you'd like to start:
$ ln -s $(which program-name)

If the program needs parameters, just make a shell script in ~/.kde/Autostart, i.e.:
korgac.sh
korgac --miniicon korganizer &


GNOME

Edit .gnome2/session-manual with your favorite editor, i.e.:
$ pico ~/.gnome2/session-manual
and add something like this:
[Default]
num_clients=2
0,RestartClientHint=3
0,Priority=50
0,RestartCommand=korgac --miniicon korganizer
0,Program=korgac --miniicon korganizer
1,RestartClientHint=3
1,Priority=50
1,RestartCommand=firefox
1,Program=firefox
