David,
there's a tiny small bug in exegnulinux_3.3_preview4.iso :
When installing on a harddisk and activating session management ("restore previous session") then this entry ~/.trinity/Autostart/kmix.desktop causes kmix to start twice after the first session, which pops up the mixer dialog, which is a bit anoying.
Otherwise, good work, I have not found an other issue :-)

That's expected behaviour, surely? If kmix was running in a previous session, "restore previous session" will restart it. There's no need for it to be in Autostart. The fix is simple, either exclude kmix from "restore session" settings, or remove it from Autostart.
JOOI, I always start with an empty session and kmix starts here every time. It's not in Autostart, but called by the Service Manager.
I haven't looked in detail into how it all works, but why can't autostart build a tree of every path/args it runs as it goes, discarding duplicates and thus not running things twice? On Jul 15, 2012 6:34 AM, "Brad Rogers" brad@fineby.me.uk wrote:

Dumping stuff in Autostart should autostart it, surely? If the program doesn't get started then that would be a bug in the autostart system. At least, to my way of thinking. Creating exceptions in the way you suggest could lead to a *lot* of head scratching.
Perhaps if the directory were called Autostart_Unless_there_is_an_exception_to_the_rule_Please_see_source_code_to_figure_out_what_some_of_them_might_be :-)

If the OP insists on doing it the way it was described, then use Autostart to fire of a shell script that tests for the existance of an already-running kmix and `exit 0` if so; elsewise start kmix.
Nearly any annoyance can be beaten into submission...

Never used saved session here, didn't know that would happen. It was put in autostart because a user requested kmix to auto-appear in the tray, it didn't before.
I always start with an empty session and kmix starts here every time. It's not in Autostart, but called by the Service Manager.
How? I would like to know. I can't see option there to call kmix.
Good to know anyway, that exegnu bugs are only minor.

Ok, here's a simple onliner that overcomes the problem (with lots of room for improvement).
Modify Autostart/kmix.desktop to start this script instead of kmix.

Thanks Nik! So far tested it works in my installation, will try script later for the live session with a view to including for the next live build
