[TriLUG] starting mozilla automagically

[Jason Tower]

i found this on the xfce.org page:

The startxfce4 is a convenient script to start an XFce 4 session from 
the console. It will give you a session with a taskbar and a panel and 
with the desktop manager and window manager running.

All programs, or symbolic links to programs, in ~/Desktop/Autostart/ 
will be run by startxfce4 on startup.

To customize the behaviour of startxfce4, copy the file 
${sysconfdir}/xfce4/xinitrc to your personal ~/.xfce4/ directory and 
edit that file. If you install from source, ${sysconfdir} defaults to 
/usr/local/etc; for binary packages it is often set to /etc. The file 
has to be executable:

chmod u+x ~/.xfce4/xinitrc
