Hi,

while it is obvious that sourcing GNUstep.sh should go into .profile (for sh 
and bash) or into .cshrc (for csh) I wonder what the best place for starting 
gdnc, gpbs and make_services is. As I learned today make_services are only 
needed for GUI apps, not tools, right?

You need to run make services only if you install a new application. Ideally, it should be run as an install-action my the package installer, for example. Since on Unix we do not usually "drag and drop" apps around like you do on Mac, you don't need to run it periodically.

So is it a good idea to start those services in .xinitrc ? Or are there other 
places for this which are more sensible?

gpbs is only needed for GUI, xinitrc is fine. gdnc (and gdomap) can be started by your rc.d init.

Actually, the daemon startup is quick on a modern machine, so I don't start anything and have the first GS app start them automatically. That way, once the last app closes, the daemons quit.
