[mythtv-users] Ratpoison

I used to use ratpoison on an older installation but I don't any
longer so this answer may be a bit iffy!

In my ~mythtv/.xsession file I had lines like this:

# Run xscreensaver daemon after killing any existing xscreensaver daemons
xscreensaver-command -exit
xscreensaver &
# Disable dynamic power management (screen blanking)
/usr/bin/xset -dpms
# Disable screen saver
/usr/bin/xset s off    # Disable dynamic power management (screen blanking)
/usr/bin/xset s noblank
# Load saved nVidia driver custom settings
nvidia-settings --load-config-only &
# Run mythwelcome which starts mythfrontend
mythwelcome &
exec /usr/bin/ratpoison

Then from memory I think I may have had entries in the .ratpoisonrc
file to run any other apps that I wanted started up on login. I'm
afraid I don't have that file any more so I can't be more explicit.

HTH,
Phill
