Rehi again,

I'd like to have several applications open (and placed on different workspaces) at startup (because i am lazy and spoiled). Is this possible?

Example:

workspace 1: Dillo open on : http:\\www.google.nl
workspace 2: Sylspeed open
workspace 3: emelfm open
workspace 4: xMMs open (and playing?)

Guess that would be cool!

i have no idea.
Look at Fluxbox home page for its features

i use icewm from the myDSL repository.
icewm home page
it looks and behaves more like the windowmanager we all know and has the feature you request.

Hello Henk,

I've tried icewm (got it via mydsl) and after i "installed" it, nothing happend so i rebooted and then i didn't get into X (Graphical enviroment). I guess i didn't backup enough after the installation. (my usb-stick has only one partition) What does your filetool.lst look like?. Does icevm really stick applications on various workspaced at startup-time? (cause that is the only reason i want to try it)

i do not us mydsl to install extensions. (it does not give good feedback in case of an error)

i download them with firefox or glinks.
then i use the emelfm myDSL button ( or better put in root of boot disk will autoinstall then)

i did a test:
i changed /home/dsl/.icewm/startup to:

Code Sample

#xset s 300
cd /home/damnsmall
xterm &
#xtdesk &
#/opt/firefox/firefox &

now it starts xterm on start of icewm

then i changed the top lines of /home/dsl/.icewm/winoptions to:

Code Sample

# This is an example for IceWM's window options file.
#
# Place your variants in /etc/icewm or in $HOME/.icewm
# since modifications to this file will be discarded when you
# (re)install icewm.

#r*.icon: mozicon

Mozilla.icon: mozicon

xterm.icon: xterm
xterm.workspace:1

note the last line, this will make xterm start on workspace 2

Code Sample

/home/dsl/filetool.lst
/opt/ppp
/opt/bootlocal.sh
/opt/powerdown.sh
/home/dsl/bewaar
/home/dsl/.mplayer
/home/dsl/.sylpheed
/home/dsl/Mail
/home/dsl/.amsn
/home/dsl/.emelfm
/home/dsl/.amsn_received
/home/dsl/.mozilla
/home/dsl/.phoenix
/opt/.firefox_plugins
/home/dsl/.icewm
/home/dsl/.xinitrc
/home/dsl/.xserverrc
/home/dsl/.axyftp
/home/dsl/.LinNeighborhood

most important lines of my filetool.lst

<edit>
if your ~/.icewm does not have the winoptions file. copy it from /usr/share/icewm.
while you do this take menu, toolbar and preferences to.
then you can play with the setings
</edit>
