KDE Autostarting Kmix (Arch)

tntcoder · 26 Jul 2007 at 00:15

Hi,

I needed the volume control bar in the KDE system tray (kmix), so i added this to ~/.kde/Autostart as a simple shell script:

Code:

#!bin/bash
kmix

Now this all works, but it opens the kmix mixer config window as well as placing it in the system tray.

Any ideas how i can make it just open to the system tray, i cant see any options in kmix iteslef? KUbuntu does this by default.

Thanks,
Jack

there might be a parameter which needs to be put after kmix to make it do that

Thanks, turned out the first time i ran it it placed an auto start script somewhere else, so my script was forcing it to open the config window

Thanks,
Jack

KDE, by default at least, will remember what was running when you last exited KDE, and will run all this software again, and put it all on the same desktops etc! So when I log in, KMix is in the tray, followed by Kopete et al
