[Fwd: Re: How can I add my startup programs to gnome session system wide?]

[Rocky Zhang <rocky userful com>]

Hi Guys,

Any other idea to add my startup programs to gnome session? I am stuck
here for nearly a week. I tried to modify /etc/bashrc, but it is
executed even when some one use "ssh" or "su -" command which is not
expected. I only want it to be executed when gnome session startup.
Another thing, I tried to add "[Chooser]" section in gnome session
config file (/usr/share/gnome/default.session); but it seems not work.
Does any one know anything about it ( I saw the instruction in "man
default.session" command , but not quite understand ) ?

Thanks.

Rocky

Any idea to modify gnome session config and make splash screen disappear
quickly?
