Look at ~/.X.d/wbar for the format - create a file in ~/.X.d with the extension name and the appropriate command inside and it will start with x

@startup: Regarding your question "what is meant by backgrounded?"

That would be using zsnes & instead of zsnes (whilst zsnes &; would probably result in a sh: syntax error: unexpected ";" error).

I'm guessing you need something like this:

Code: [Select]

$ cat /home/tc/.X.d/zsnes
zsnes &
