Topic: Autostarting nm-applet in scrotWM?

So i saw this thread:
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … h-scrotwm/
specifically post 19.
I make a desktop entry in my /home/charon folder, like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=XSession
Exec=/usr/local/bin/scrotwm.sh
TryExec=scrotwm
Name=scrotwm

and in /usr/local/bin/scrotwm.sh i have this:

nm-applet &
sleep .2
scrotwm

however when i login to my scrotWM session, nm-applet doesn't start and i have to manually do it. So what am i doing wrong? Yes, i made scrotwm.sh executable with chmod+x

Re: Autostarting nm-applet in scrotWM?

You need trayer or stalonetray in scrotwm since scrotwm is not having a built-in systray.
if you are using stalonetray, you have to call it from terminal or dmenu (MOD1 / MOD4+p).
