Two questions:

1) What is the 'proper' way to startup three applications after login
(runlevel 5)? How can I tell them to start on a specified desktop of the
four avalable?


2)I have to run seveal applcation functions as root and so find that I
am constantly running this set of steps to setup a "root" shell console.

This is on a typical SuSE 9.0 install. I have gotten around some of this
in adding a ~/.bashrc for each user. What again is the "proper" way to
do this?

BTW: I was catching up on my User Group mail and noticed that someone
was looking for a corporate desktop replacement. May I put in my $0.2
and say "NOT SUSE". It is not ready for primtime on the deskotp as of
9.0.
