Autostarting apps

Note

My modified Makefile installs this file automagically. Steps below should not be necessary.

If using a display manager make the session execute a script (refer to xsession). Same could be done with startx and ~/.xinitrc. My modified version provides my autostarting script and installs it as /usr/local/bin/startdwm

The script could look something like

/usr/local/bin/startdwm

#!/bin/sh
slstatus &
pasystray &
nm-applet &
exec dwm

You might also like the systray patch as it just makes sense.
