Launching VMware Tools when Kubuntu launches

[GeertVc]

Hi,

I successfully installed Kubuntu 6.06 in VMware. I also successfully compiled VMware Tools.

So far, I have to start VMware Tools by hand, every time I launch Kubuntu in VMware as a virtual machine.

Question: can I have VMware Tools automatically started and minimised each time I launch Kubuntu?

I think this should/must be possible, but I don't know how exactly...

Best rgds,

Create a new script in ~/.kde/Autostart:

#!/bin/bash
ksystraycmd --hidden --window "VMware Tools Properties" /usr/bin/vmware-toolbox

Don't forget to chmod +x!
