Autostart lxde

autostar_lxde Debian 7.7 SMP Debian 3.16.3-2~bpo70+1 (2014-09-21) 14_11_16 # https://sites.google.com/site/debianinstallnotes/lxde/set-up # Auto-start apps sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart add the app command as a line preceded by @ e.g. for Xfce4-power-manager to start up with every log-in: @xfce4-power-manager Don't see why you can't just copy autostart to the home dir like this rsync /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/ and edit it more simply -obviously, in /etc/xdg/lxsession/ it will be set globally for all users. But note that anything in the /etc/xdg/ autostart that's not in the ~/ autostart will be run, e.g. the screensaver. there're another two ways to go about it... add .desktop files for apps into ~/.config/autostart run: lxsession-edit - a gui for autostarting (check/uncheck) stuff.
