That is until I made the first line of the script "sleep 15". Yes, the docs for Autostart say there's a bug which prevents it from running scripts after Plasma has started (it's not clear whether that also applies to programs - Autostart seems to treat them differently for some reason). I don't even mind that part, it's the shutdown that's more of a pain: if I forget to run the Save script then the Restore one will sometimes fail. Thanks anyway. poc _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/F4KWRZEFWX3ODKPM4ZYJ3HU7VDQ6YEA4/
