One of my talented students last year wrote this perl script named 'oquick'
which has been working since last March on our k12ltsp 4.0 server
it loads up a session which is then immediately moved to the background.
We run IceWM exclusively, so the startup script below loads
for every user that logs in. Not perfect but effective.
[phealy at crux phealy]$ cat /usr/share/icewm/startup
oquick 2>/dev/null &
[phealy at crux phealy]$ cat /usr/bin/oquick
#!/usr/bin/perl
system("ooffice -draw -minimized &");
while (1){
$a = readpipe("xprop -name \"Untitled1 - OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 \"");
if ($a ne ""){
if ($a ne "xprop: error: No window with name Untitled1 - OpenOffice.org
1.1.0 exists!\n"){
sleep 1;
system("icesh -class \"VCLSalFrame\" setState 16 16");
exit;
}
}
}

These kids really amaze me sometimes.
Too bad that just when they're most useful,
they go and graduate!
