Why the hell doesnt Ubuntu add a right click start on bootup option like in Linux Mint? Too damn easy!

Great tip, its nice to see more than just the System > Preferences > Sessions solution which is all over the net already I just had one more specific question, .profile will run even if i login with my windows manager disabled (ie. directly into a consol) right? is there a variable or function i can put into an 'if' statement to keep GUI based apps from running if i'm not running a GUI?

All I needed! Helped me ;-)
Though with the title place the easy way at the top and then the advanced, would have saved a lot of discussion.

But still very helpfull! Cheers

This is why Linux will never replace Microsoft’s OS as the defacto desktop operating system.

The Michael Magua’s of the world just put people off.

I found this to be a very helpful tip. It’s nice to know the easy way as well. I probably wouldn’t have thought to look under sessions. I kept thinking it must be in boot start-up or something like that. I like Ubuntu a lot. The ease of use is nice.

Its a cooool article, I don’t care about what people say …………. for me the article did a great job. The linuxbug is catching on me. I don’t like this distro specific stuff anyways.

Bunch of Thanks for the tip. Please keep writing such tips don’t ever be discouraged by comments of certain people.
