I've been writing simple shell scripts to start my wxEuphoria programs.
Then I'm able to autostart one with KDE by placing it in ~/.kde/Autostart
and the other has been given an icon and placed on the launcher
beside the Menu button. I just redid this tonight after upgrading my
Mandrake box.

This is one script:

#! /bin/bash
cd /home/bruce/Projetos/Program/Mail\ cleaner
exu mc.exw

Then you make it executable (I do it in properties in Konqueror so I
don't remember the console command that any serious hacker would use!)
The directory change line was necessary for me because this program would
create a new database in whichever directory I happened to call it from.
Don't forget the backslash before any spaces on your command line (although
I think you can place the path in quotes instead).
