When a new instance of the desktop is started, there are several ways to run scripts or
applications automagically, e.g. files in ~/autostart. Is there some way to run scripts
when the desktop is being closed?

Hi Leslie,
you can use kcmautostart, then you can go to TCC -> TDE Components -> Autostart
mamager. You can add a command and
select Shutdown to run it on shutdown, although I never tried it.

I wanted to try things in (play with) 'autostop' too, but never explored it...

Well,
in Debian the package is called kcontrol-autostart-trinity-.... but the folder in the repo
source is called
kcmautostart, hence me remembering that.
The TDE module is actually called autostart and you can invoke it with tdecmshell
autostart from CLI.
Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks Michele!,
For other's reference, it wasn't auto installed on my system, probably why I
couldn't find it before ;)
For Debian based:
apt-get install kcontrol-autostart-trinity
Then it shows up in TCC and after you add something you can switch it to
shutdown.
Although now I'm curious what ENV does (as opposed to startup/shutdown).
Thanks again,
Michael

An excellent question. I would suggest clicking on the Help button, but as with many of
the non-trivial components, the help that is presented merely tells us, "We
Apologize
No documentation has yet been written for Autostart."

This is supposed to run scripts that set environment variables (those in ~/.trinity/env)
but it does not work as
implemented so far AFAICT.

Ah! I didn't realize that there is a feature for that. (Maybe "Autostart"
is a
misnomer, since it's not limited to starting things. :-) ) Do the entries in the
Autostart Manager run in the order they're listed? (Doubtful, since the list can be
sorted by Name or Command.)
