Description

This is a guide for setting up an application to autostart with LXDE on Arch. This example should also apply to any other Linux distribution that uses .desktop files (which is all of them last time I checked).

  • Create a link of the .desktop file in the .config/autostart folder, this example uses pidgin:
    ln -s /usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop ~/.config/autostart/pidgin.desktop
