wbar & XFCE start-up sequence

Hi -

I've been using wbar on an older DELL laptop with Linux Mint 7 - XFCE and have been noticing that when the system launches wbar shows up with a black rectangle behind it.  If I right mouse click on the black rectangle it disappears and the desktop appears behind wbar.

Is there some way of changing the start-up sequence for XFCE so that wbar starts last? 

Regards,

Dave

Re: wbar & XFCE start-up sequence

I've had similar issues with compiz and xpad. Remove wbar from your session/autostart list and replace it with a script containing the following:

#bin/sh
sleep 5
wbar

This will result in the script doing nothing for 5 seconds, before executing wbar. Don't forget to make the script executable.

Isn't it possible to just execute a single-line sleep 5 ; wbar at startup instead of a script?

I have no idea. I know <command> && <command> doesn't work.

Creating a simple script as mentioned above did the trick.  I did try executing a single line from the Session and Startup GUI, but that didn't work.
