Hi ian,

Excerpts from ian's message of 2011-11-12 12:18:38 +0000:
That has sorted the i-bar position thank you. I have looked
at the docs and config file and just cannot see where to insert the
no startup flag. I have tried a few places but just get the config
error each time, a bit more help would be welcome.
Well, depends on what your config looks like. My guess is that you
have some exec or exec_always lines in your config which are executed
on startup:

exec ~/.bin/my_script.sh

If the applications you start do not support startup notifications
(commandline apps do not), use:

exec --no-startup-id ~/.bin/my_script.sh

This is documented here:
http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_automatically_starting_applications_on_i3_startup

If you still have trouble with that, please attach your configfile
and the modified configfile which leads to errors.

Best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks again, now I understand, it is Feh ( for my wallpaper) causing
the issue, problem solved.
