KDE SESSION AUTOSTART
|
|
|
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KDE session startup occurs in the following sequence:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Window manager startup
|
|
|
|
|
Autostart phase 1
|
|
|
|
|
Session restoration
|
|
|
|
|
Autostart phase 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Applications may be scheduled to be automatically run at KDE session startup
|
|
|
|
|
in either autostart phase 1 or phase 2. Autostart phase 1 is the original
|
|
|
|
|
autostart phase; phase 2 was introduced in KDE 3. To run in either phase, an
|
|
|
|
|
application's .desktop file must be located in a KDE autostart directory such
|
|
|
|
|
as $TDEDIR/share/autostart or $TDEHOME/share/autostart. The .desktop file can
|
|
|
|
|
contain the following optional entries to control its autostart:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
X-KDE-autostart-condition = rcfile:group:entry:default
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rcfile = name of a config file (including path if necessary)
|
|
|
|
|
group = name of a group within the config file
|
|
|
|
|
entry = name of a boolean entry within the group
|
|
|
|
|
default = true or false
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Starts the application only if the specified boolean entry in the
|
|
|
|
|
specified config file has the value 'true'. If the specified entry is
|
|
|
|
|
missing from the config file, the application will only be started if
|
|
|
|
|
'default' is 'true'.
|
|
|
|
|
If the entry is not within a group, the group entry can be left empty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
X-KDE-autostart-after = desktop_name
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
desktop_name = the name of another .desktop file excluding path and
|
|
|
|
|
the .desktop suffix. E.g. panel.desktop would appear
|
|
|
|
|
as 'X-KDE-autostart-after=panel'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Waits until the .desktop file specified by 'desktop_name' has been
|
|
|
|
|
autostarted. The entry is ignored if the specified application is not
|
|
|
|
|
scheduled in the same autostart phase as this .desktop file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
X-KDE-autostart-phase = phase
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
phase = 1 or 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Starts the application in the autostart phase specified by 'phase'.
|
|
|
|
|
If this entry is missing or 'phase' < 1, 'phase' defaults to 1. If
|
|
|
|
|
'phase' > 2 the application will not be autostarted since the specified
|
|
|
|
|
autostart phase will never be reached.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hidden = true
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Disables autostarting the application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KUniqueApplication and session restoration
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If KUniqueApplication applications are autostarted before they are restored
|
|
|
|
|
from the previous session, they will never see the session restoration command.
|
|
|
|
|
So if you need to autostart a KUniqueApplication which may also be restored
|
|
|
|
|
in session restoration, you should schedule it for autostart in phase 2.
