I had it all working already but just going to a locked screensaver after one
minute.
I will try and get it down using some of the hints given in this thread.
I am launching the programs via .desktop files in .config/autostart including
the:
sh -c "sleep ..." trick
I start x11vnc right away
I start qjackctl after 15 seconds
this launches darkice after startup via a script
it also has the patchbay activated to make the wanted connections
I start rdairplay after 45 seconds
all the best,
drew
