Re: Auto Startup Command

It depends when you need to run it, if it can be run after the desktop has loaded (which it looks like it can) then create a desktop launcher (right click desktop and select Create New -> Link To Application and in the dialog box give it a name (ie set_gamma) and then select the application tab and enter your command in the Command line. Click OK to save. Next move this file to ~/.q4data/Programs/Startup/ and it will run when you start the desktop.

You can use a GUI file manager to do this or type from a terminal (in your home directory)

mv Desktop/set_gamma.desktop .q4data/Programs/Startup/

Re: Auto Startup Command

You need to replace set_gamma.desktop in the command with the name of your own desktop file. Or you can simply use the normal file manager (Konqueror) as that would probably be easier for you.
