Folks,

None of these methods work for starting gkrellm when gnome3 starts :(

[students@maddog ~]$ cat ~/.config/autostart 
(sleep 2 && gkrellm) &

or

in ~/.xinitrc

None do the job.  Might have to check the gnome-settings? package.  I wanted this work to not install the package which soon might be depracated?  

Thanks,

Antonio
