I am trying to autostart a script after the desktop loads. I'm running Xubuntu.

I already tried putting a link into /ect/profile, and copying a .desktop into /.config/autostart/.

While this launches the script, it loads before the desktop does and then the desktop does not load until I close the script. How can I make it launch only after the desktop loads?

Thank you!

EDIT: The script opens a java app that needs to run indefinitely.

is there a specific element of the desktop the script should wait for? Also Why is the script not closing? – Jacob Vlijm May 22 '14 at 19:51

Did you try Upstart http://askubuntu.com/a/468698/265974 ? – TuKsn May 22 '14 at 19:53
