      Hi guys!

      The background to this question is that I wanted to enable numlock on startup, the solution to that was to put the entry (numlockx &) into ~/.desktop-session/startup file. I wanted Dropbox to autostart on startup, the solution to that was to add the entry (dropbox start) in ~/.icewm/startup. These solution scavenged from searching old antix forums.

      So far so good! Except on some startups dropbox doesnt start. Restarting the session solves the problem. I’ve also noticed that during the same startups my custom key configs edited in ~/.icewm/keys also dont work.

      Whats going on here?

      Any illuminating response would be appreciated! Thanks!

        an entry placed the file ~/.desktop-session/startup
        will be applied to all sessiontypes (irrespective of which window manager)
        except during the sessiontypes prefaced by min-
