Dear folks,
I took the plunge to Gnome 3 and although I am playing around, I wish to add
some
of the old functionality like
there was before, i.e, add a starting up script, in the old way one
would open
gnome session and add the
program/script to run at bootup, now the same cannot be applied.
I want to add GKrellM system monitor. ATM I use a terminal and type
$ gkrellm &
or run it from the applications(System -> GKrellM), but I want to see if it
can
run without me typing it in?
I'd like to know, too. I haven't been able to find a definitive answer on this,
but my impression from reading is that the developers decided that people should
be able to use suspend/hibernate to avoid ever having to log out. Of course this
fails to consider a few "corner cases" such as dual boot, kernel updates,
non-working suspend/hibernate, power outages without a UPS or that last longer
than the UPS's capacity, etc. If this impression is wrong, someone please
correct me - in the rare cases I've seen anyone else ask this question, they
never got an answer which suggests there currently isn't one.
