Another vote in favor of leaving synclient/syndaemon in here. I still have my eye on a desktop touchpad to replace my mouse (I keep forgetting to add it to my Amazon cart) and I wouldn't be surprised if more BL users have laptops than desktops.
Be excellent to each other, and...party on, dudes!

OK let's do that. As @hhh pointed out, it's not much RAM anyway.

It's clearly commented, too. We'll add a note about it in the Release Notes.
I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

We seem to be getting close to the final new autostart file!
I've taken @hhh's latest version and made a couple of small changes:
*) Added a comment to the touchpad section that it's OK to comment it out.
*) Restored the bl-compositor command (instead of 'compton -b'), because the new version of bl-compositor has the '-b' option built in.
*) Moved the pulseaudio/volumeicon pair up just after compton/tint2, because it felt neater.
*) Restored fdpowermon and clipit - they're needed by default.
*) Added a commented-out bl-fortune entry, just as a reminder that some day we might add it.
If that seems OK I'll commit it to the deuterium branch of bunsen-configs, along with skel/.config/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop. Of course there's still time to tweak it, but at least something will be up in the repo.
EDIT: forgot to paste it in:

I'm still having problems in a live session, tint2 and conky either don't start or tint2 starts with no systray and no conky, running 'Restart tint2' from the root menu brings everything up. Restart of tint2 at the end as a fix? A separate autostart for live sessions? I don't know. Damn frustrating.
-edit- Also, the compositor restart should be removed from bl-tint2-session and bl-tint2-restart, I think.

Frustrating indeed. That same system runs OK after it's installed? Can I have a copy of the iso to try?
Also, the compositor restart should be removed from bl-tint2-session and bl-tint2-restart, I think.
I thought that had already been discussed and agreed on? In order:
put a tint2 restart (only if tint2 is running) in bl-compositor's --restart code, and take the compositor restart out of bl-tint2-restart?
I suggest removing the compositing restart from bl-tint2-restart and adding a tint2 restart to bl-compositor --restart. That seems to work here.
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 870#p32870
Removing "bl-compositor --restart" from our tint2 scripts solves everything for me.
^ That looks like the solution, plus adding a call to bl-tint2restart to the compositor restart code, to make sure tint2 is always started after compton.
^Those changes are now pushed to the deuterium branches of bunsen-utilities and bunsen-pipemenus.
Anyway it's in deuterium already.

Yes, things seem fine with an install onto metal. OK, when I have fresh eyes I'll spin another build and upload it for testing.

Sorry to muddy the waters yet again, but please see this post about PA and volumeicon. I'll probably have yet another modification to suggest.

Maybe this will be it.
*) Added possible alternative use of capslock key:
## Disable CapsLock
setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
# alternative: use as compose key
#setxkbmap -option compose:caps
*) Changed the PA startup command to bl-start-pulseaudio-x11 (to be shipped in bunsen-configs, along with this file).
*) Added comments that compositor must be started before tint2, and PA before volumeicon.
Look OK?
