Hi, I just installed and configured Conky, and I'd like to automatically launch it whenever I start a GNOME session. I expected to see some sort of Preferences>Launch Applications on Startup, some user-specific equivalent of rc.local, but there doesn't seem to be such an entry. Any suggestions? Niki

Click "Add" and here, you will need to enter a command (such as /usr/bin/conky) Not quite sure what conky is, as I've never used it, so this may or may not work for you. But give it a try :-) Hope this helps. -- Jake
