Starting App in Toolbox/Systemtray

Hi,

I've recently been looking at Xpad (on sourceforge; don't have link
handy by). Wondering how to start it in the toolbar.

>From the xpad man:

	-H, --hide-old
		Hides preexisting  pads on  startup.  All pads  will be
		hidden, so unless the tray  icon is present or you also
		specify --new, xpad will exit immediately.

Running xpad -H after fluxbox is running, the little note-pad icon
appears on the system tray.

However, I have tried as follows:

a. In the startup file:

# Run fluxbox in the background, saving its pid:
/usr/local/bin/fluxbox & wmpid=$!
# Then start the programs
xscreensaver -nosplash &
gkrellm -w &
# Xpad still doesn't show up in the toolbar. But if you run it
# during the fluxbox session, it does.
# Let's try waiting a little bit before firing it up
wait 2
# Nope, that doesn't work either....
xpad -H &
# And set up a "wait-point"
wait $wmpid

b. In apps:

[startup] {xpad -H}

c. In /etc/X11/xinit.d/xpad:

#!/bin/sh
DESKTOP=$1
case $DESKTOP in
   GNOME|IceWM|Fluxbox|XFce4) exec /usr/local/bin/xpad -H ;;
esac

(This was patterned directly after the net_applet script there, which
does result in that applet being put onto the toolbar)

None of these show any effect, although interestingly after installing
the xinit.d script, a subsequent run of xpad -H puts the icon to the
*right* of the net_applet, whereas before it was to the left....!

I am running fluxbox 1.0.0 on Mandrivel 2007. Obviously, I don't know
what I am doing, so any help would be appreciated!

TIA,

Scott Swanson
