I've tried to get Xscreensaver and my-weather-indicator to autostart, they're in the Startup Application Preferences, but they're not coming on line after I log in.
Is there a way to audit what the problem is, like a log file for the startup applications?
(When I start Xscreensaver afterward, I'll get a dialog that it isn't running as a daemon and do I want to start it?. Maybe I'm missing a command to start is a daemon?)
sh -c "sleep 10 && xscreensaver -nosplash"
which is the first thing I would try. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Oct 10 '16 at 21:10
