running programs at start of the window manager

[reman711]

I'm a Debian user, using Enlightenment as my window manager. I was wondering how I could make a script or a file to initialize several programs as my window manager begins to run (i.e. gkrellm, gaim, an eterm, etc.). Rather then going through and doing it all manually, I wanted to get them to all automaticall start. I know how to get different programs to run at the boot of my computer using rc files, but I want to run programs at the start of the window manager, not at boot.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

You can use certain commands in your .xinitrc file or maybe .xsession for your user. Here's an example of my .xinitrc file:

exec bbkeys -w & 2

exec bbpager -w & 2

exec gkrellm -w & 2

exec blackbox

You can also start all the programs you wish to start automatically, then goto session->save session. Also turn off the save session on logout option. Both ways work.
