Blueman bluetooth app on XFCE4[SOLVED]

Hi All:

i installed blueman V1.21-r1 with the following compile flags: gnome hal network nls...I did NOT compile in support for pulseaudio.

Now, if I run blueman-manager as root, everything works. if I run it as me, a normal user, it doesn't work.
I googled this:
"Should blueman-manager be run as root?" and ended up here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=70429

There a chap said to use this from a terminal logged in as me:
ck-launch-session blueman-manager

Ok, it worked......

Now, question:
Where can I put the command "ck-launch-session blueman-manager" so that blueman-manager starts this way everytime I startx but also so that blueman-manager does not start the nomal way?

Cheers,
john

Re: Blueman bluetooth app on XFCE4[SOLVED]

Hi:

Had some time to go in and out of X so got this sorted....

Made a directory ~/bin.
In this I made the file bluemanstart.sh
Here is this file:
ck-launch-session blueman-applet > /dev/null 2>&1 &

I then made it executable.

I went to Settings-> Session and Startup->Applicatin Autostart.

Here I unticked the blueman applet since this would start with my security credentials which are not quite right.
I then ckicked the ADD button and pointed it to my file bluemanstart.sh.

Now when xfce4 starts, the blueman-applet is running and it works!

Cheers,
John
