Re: Where to Put xset Commands on Startup?

my first thought (i don't know if this would work, but am guessing that it likely would) is to put a .desktop file in directory ~/.config/autostart/ that includes an Exec= line that runs a script (that i'd put in the same directory) that does those 3 commands plus anything else.  i currently run a command that starts up various xfce4-terminal instances in different workspaces.  be sure to chmod those files to 750 or 550.
