I edited the ~/.fluxbox/startup file today so that XChat and Deluge automatically start whenever I log into Fluxbox. Handy since I always have them running n'est pas? It was really easy to do- just add "xchat &" and "deluge &" to the file. The "&" is so that they're split off and run in their own threads rather than taking up the entire attention of the XServer. What's important here is that I could have absolutely anything I want start up when Fluxbox does. Think about this, what can you set to run at startup in Windows? How would you go about doing it? You can, of course, do this stuff in Windows, but it's not as obvious, easy, and powerful as what I did with Fluxbox. Firefox? Pidgin? A terminal? PuTTY? Maya? Blender? K3b? Amarok? Exaile? KWrite? Absolutely any program I can think of (that's already installed, of course) can be run at startup. Maybe Windows can do that too, but I can tell my Linux programs to start up in certains ways however I want. Let's say I want Dolphin to load up at the "/mnt/BAALDUKH/DAEMONS/PYTHON/" directory when I start. Or maybe I want Amarok to load up  "~/Desktop/KTORRENT/mainsail/massive_attack/100th_window_anti-star.mp3" and play it. Or how about telling KWrite to load up the last text file (probably C++ source code) that I had open? Or I could take a screenshot as soon as I log in (I can't think of a reason why either). Or have Kaffeine open up the latest video file in "~/Desktop/KTORRENT/mainsail/". Let's see Windows do that.
