I'm trying to get the program "Desktop Drapes" to run on startup, and so far the only guide that's gotten me anywhere is this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8810911#post8810911



Things progress smoothly until I enter gksudo nautilus into the terminal. According to the guide, from here I should be able to /usr/bin and change the properties of "drapestart." However, in the root folder I find only a Desktop icon that leads to an empty menu.



I've entered gksudo nautilus while cd'd into /usr/bin and from [username]@[username]-desktop:~$, and the result is the same. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?



Thank you for taking the time out to read this. :)

In line with your question.
When you run "gksudo nautilus" it opens in root's home directory, not yours.



Simply click on "File System" in nautilus's left sidebar & then navigate wherever, in this case to usr > bin



Or include where you wish to go in the command, like



gksudo nautilus /usr/bin
