Adding Sowftware to start up

[ToxicWaste]

Hello guys, good morning.
Could you please tell me how to add stuff in OpenSuSe startup? I would like my skype to load when my Suse system loads.

Thanks

Assuming KDE

My Skype restarts with the system if it was running when it shutdown

But you can put a script (think bat file) or a shortcut in

/home/username/.kde/Autostart/

note that there is a period in front of kde. This makes it a hidden file.

To see it in the browser you must select View-Show Hidden

You can simply copy a shortcut to the directory or if you use a script be sure it's permissions are set to execute.

There is equivalent in gnome

I think there's an option in Skype - Options>General - to start skype and put it in the system tray.

Sorry, I should have checked before posting. That option just gives you the icon in the system tray when you open Skype and no window. A wrong assumption on my part!

On my system the Apps that are open when you shutdown KDE come back when you restart it. I think there may be a setting some where that does this but I forget where it is. I thought it was default behavior.

Ok found it

Personnel settings - KDE Components -Session manager

Be sure that On Login the Restore previous sessions is ticked

I should have made it clear, my mistake, but I am using Gnome. Can you help me out with my issue but on Gnome gogalthorp?!

Ok, I just found the solution!
If anybody is interested to Add Software to the start up of your Gnome OpenSuse 10.2, then just go to Computer > Control Center > Sessions > Startup Programs!!!

Hope you find this helpful.
