You have to edit your .xinitrc (in your home directory).
Here's an example:
Note the &, also, be sure that "gkrellm" is before "exec <your window manager>".

Sorry...I cant find it under home....RH9 by the way.

should be in /etc/X11/xinit
-
for RH9, the file you want is in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/
you just edit the text file that cooresponds to the window manager you are using... the command serz gives should work good... you just add `gkrellm &` to the top of whatever session file suits you...

Thanks all...Im a straight newb...How do I figure out which windows manager im using. I havent changed anything from the default install.

If you are using the default, then you should be using GNOME. Try this. Click on Main Menu -> Preferences -> More Preferences -> Sessions. There is a tab for startup programs and you can add /usr/bin/gkrellm to it. This should do it.

I think you should be able to do it the same way in KDE on redhat-9.
Or you can start gkrellm and logout without closing it. By default KDE restarts the old session.

RX - which version of KDE and Gkrellm you using? There is a problem with some versions of gkrellm not restarting automatically in KDE 3.1.4. Supposedly fixed with the newest gkrellm build, but I haven't tried it yet.

edit this file
/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/KDE
#!/bin/bash
exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession kde
Add gkrellm & before the exec line.
So this is how the new KDE file will look
#!/bin/bash
gkrellm &
exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession kde
this will start gkrellm for everyone on your computer who logs in using KDE though.
