[xubuntu-users] startup applications in correct order

[Wybo Dekker]

Is there a way to have applications start up in a predefined order?
For example: devilspie should start earlier than all others, in order to
get the others at their correct positions and workspaces.
I tried to rename .config/devilspie.desktop to 01-devilspie.desktop,
with no success.
Or is there a better alternative for using devilspie?
