Is this sensible?

Is there really a point in writing a "KDE enabled" accessory in C / Gtk?
I'm not dead against Gtk, I use a few Gtk applications myself (like Streamtuner and Grip), but I'm not sure I would like it as a part of the system framework.
Note: I haven't tried prelaunch, so maybe I'm totally off...

I totally agree with with you. It doesn't really make sense to make KDE (or a KDE program) depend on gtk.

a signture is missing! - have you got one for me?

it is not a KDE app. it has KDE support
(automatic system installation/preparation)

without this support you need to do this by hand (PATH settings, scripts...)

When I logged out and back in the applications I added, Quanta and Kile both started up and appeared on my screen.

I used
%prelaunch-add "application"

try this:

prelaunch -r application
prelaunch /usr/bin/application --autostart
prelaunch /usr/bin/application

if this is working, the problem is related to missing ~/.prelaunch in PATH or
enabled session managemnt. i will try it out to night.

so tested:

quanta: work, but open some window on startup (do not know to disable it,
make sure splash window is disabled)

kile: does not work, cause it is not possible to disable the splash window

prelaunch on KDE 4.1.3 issues

by leftycrupps on: Dec 19 2008

Hello I recently complied prelaunch v0.05 on my Debian Sid with KDE4 from Debian's Experimental branch, and was able to successfully add apps.

One bug seems to be that I cannot give the full path for the app I want, like:
$ prelaunch-add /usr/bin/iceweasel
because that then tries to create the file:
~/.prelaunch//usr/bin/iceweasel
and that fails. With just using 'iceweasel' the file gets created properly and things seem to work, sorta...

But my main question is, nothing happens once I adjust my icons to launch the new prelauncher script/binary/whatever, and I click my icon. I have to click my icon 2 or even 4 times to get an app to launch, and when it does I get 2 or 3 instances of Iceweasel on the screen at once. I am accustomed to clicking things once, being KDE and all, and I'd prefer to not have a lot start at once.

Any tips or suggestions? Thanks for the app, it looks like it will be useful if I can get it going properly, since I am tired of Firefox (Iceweasel) taking so long to launch.

Am I doing something wrong?
