Hi there:
Following this thread, I have also experimented starting Pd automatically but after the login instead of during the boot. I did it by having similar script as the below and used the "(in FC2+Gnome)Menu->Preferences->Sessions->Startup Programs" to call the script.
However, I noticed that the Pd I started this way don't have the terminal window which acts as the Pd's message window. How can I script it in such way that I got Pd with the message window?
Many thanks
CHUN
