    Autostart in KDE4

    I've been playing with KDE4 lately. I found that I would like to autostart some scrips when I log in, but I have not been able to figure out how. In KDE3 there was the Autostart folder, I have not found a similar folder in KDE4. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Try this:
    - Create a script
    - Move it to your /etc/init.d file
    Code:
    sudo mv /.../scriptname /etc/init.d
    - Make it executable
    Code:
    sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/scriptname

      Thanks for the reply, I hadn't thought of that...
      Won't that start the script when the computer is booting? I'm sorry I wasn't more specific, I'm looking to autostart a scrip when I log into my profile, and my profile only.

        I've been trying to do this for the past 2 hours and finally figured it out. Here's how I start Synergy at KDE4 startup...

        Code:
        [email]niko@dawn.nwps.ws[/email]:~# cat /usr/lib/kde4/share/autostart/synergy.desktop 
        [Desktop Entry]
        Name=Synergy
        GenericName=Synergy
        Exec=synergyc -f 10.0.3.9
        Icon=klipper
        Type=Application
        Terminal=false
        X-KDE-autostart-after=panel
        I hope this helps. And you can probably do the same in ~/.kde4/ as well.

          I've checked out Synergy, but can't seem to get it to work properly. Could you explain how to configure it, please
