How do I add startup applications in Lubuntu/Lxde?

Question

I want to add Gnome-Do to my startup applications in Lubuntu 10.04 and the only reference I've found on the net is to edit /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart. But surely there must be a way to do this on a user basis?

Answer 2

If the program you want to start has a *.desktop file, then simply copy or symlink it into the ~/.config/autostart directory.

Source:

• wiki.lxde.org/en/LXSession#autostart
• http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html

Otherwise, for commands in general,

"For per-user autostart, use the ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart file."

It has the same format as /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart
