When I reboot I always do the same when the 'desktop' pops up.

1. Open iceape in Workspace Alpha
2. Open screen in Workspace Screen.

I have found a way to automate this so that at every reboot, screen and iceapae auto open in their respective workspaces.
This is how I did it.

iceape &
urxvtc -e screen &

added to fluxbox startup file. Note I use urxvt, change to roxterm if you prefer.

Then add this to fluxbox apps file.

Code: Select all

[app] (name=Navigator) (class=Iceape) (role=browser)
  [Workspace]    {0}
  [Deco]    {NONE}
  [Close]    {yes}
[end]
[app] (name=urxvt) (class=URxvt)
  [Workspace]    {5}
  [Deco]    {NONE}
  [Maximized]    {yes}
  [Close]    {yes}
[end]
This opens iceape and screen in fullscreen with no borders.
