Considering prior (auto login) information in the thread, you might want to turn off the screensaver, or turn off the automatic password lockout in it. You might want to make a script for starting your application. Iron out any bugs in it so that you can start your application on demand by using that script. Then call on that script to automatically start your application after login. If a delay is all you need to make it run properly, you can put a delay into your script. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
