finally I removed GPE completely... I found it useless in all parts

looks like Calend is more appropriate for me with it's integrated ToDo feature, will try this... if only it works om OS2008

I put 'gpe-calendar&' in my .profile to start it up at boot, but anyone know if there's a 'hildon' way to start user apps automatically? tx

Place that line in an init script

Edit: NM, found it . http://brewer123.home.comcast.net/~b...rojects/nokia/

I assume you're answering me? I'd thought of that, but unless I added it to the sudoers file, it would end up running as root not user. Which I'm starting to think might not be such a bad idea, 'cause every time I start a terminal (which admittedly isn't that much), it brings the focus back to the calendar 'cause it re-sources the .profile.

I just thought there might have been a 'official' tablet/maemo/hildon 'Startup' folder or method. Seems not. TX

Just for the record I ended up having to put an rc script in, 'cause although I hadn't realized it, whenever the .profile was re-sourced (opening a new terminal, some parts of a package manager install, etc), it was starting multiple instances of the calendar.

FWIW

Eek. There is that applet on the desktop that can automatically start apps too.

What applet would that be? Nothing I can see jumps out as having that capability. TX
