Yes, that would work if I wanted it to start at every login, not
just if it was running when I logged out...
Once upon a time there was a little kingdom where all applications held
the X11 standards high and the grand master of session management
called
So I guess you're saying that there's no way to get TDE to notice
my X2, then.
You can use the autostart dir [1], but you'll need to do the work yourself.
You could add a wrapper to starting X2 and a script in the autostart dir.
Or better would be a check script in the shutdown dir (if it exists) and a
corresponding script in the autostart dir.
Here's some out of context code from something else, hack-and-slash as
needed.
#!/bin/bash
/path-to-X2/X2
Pid=`pgrep -f /path-to-X2/X2`
if [ "$Pid" != "" ] ; then
# echo Already running...
# ps "$Pid"
touch /home/foo/.trinity/apps-to-restart/X2
exit
fi
In any event, what you want can be done, it just might be painful.

[1] Mine seems to be called: /home/michael/.trinity/Autostart
You're apparently misunderstanding what I'm looking for. I don't want this
program to Always start when I login, only when it was running at the time
that I previously logged out. That's why I wondered if some sort of DCOP
wrapper might be appropriate.
