So, in one of our many labs here @ work, we have about 30 Linux work stations, currently running Ubuntu. We tend to have jsut about every available window manager/desktop installed on these, and allow teh users to pick, at login (via gdm) which one they want to use. The issues is, we use a printing accounting system called paper cut, which we don't currently have on our linux boxes. this is because simply adding them to the default gnome start up, wouldn't work, since not everyone uses gnome. Another solution is not to have the program auto start, but rather have a shortcut on the desktop a user can click on. once again, this would have to be desktop neutral, and, also, the user home directories are nfs automount, meaning we cannot do any of this though dotfiles etc in the user home dir. anyone have any ideas of experience with things like this? thanks -- Matthew Nicholson <sjoeboo at sjoeboo.com> sjoeboo.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
