    Pidgin autostart howto

    Pidgin used to auto start and stay on tray after first use, without the need to put it in the autostart folder, but just few days ago it no longer auto start, how do I fix that ?

    I thought it was just me...

    If you put it in the autostart folder same for Skype) everything will be OK.

    Dolphin>View> Show Hidden Folders

    Autostart is at Home>.kde> Autostart

    RIGHT click. Choose Create New>Link to Application

    Go to Application Tab. Put in name: Pidgin. The press Browse button beside Command. Root>usr>bin.Pidgin

    Optional: Click the General Tab> Picture of ? and choose the Pidgin icon if you like. (System Icons (Applications ) Pidgin.

    Reboot.

    Somebody might come along to tell us how to do it quicker - but that's how I do it.

        It doesn't have to be on autostart folder, it runs everytime reboot after the first time, but I don't know how come it suddenly refuse to do that, I don't want to put it in autostart to prevent autorun twice.

          1) At the moment it's not autostarting without being in the Autostart Folder

          2) In the event that it suddenly returns and autoruns twice () you can remove it form the Autostart Folder.
