Well indeed I have no idea... AfterStep loads it for me at each startup
after I've loaded it once from the start menu. I have no idea which
program is used and coudln't find the file which takes care of it...

I use 1.5b4. Any clue?

(I use bash, but adapting the script shoudln't be a pb - thanks :) )
