I am using KDE4 with the lastest version of opensuse, and I want to autostart everytime I turn on my computer.

I followed this website: http://antrix.net/journal/techtalk/dropbox%5Fkde.html

I got dropbox to work and everything is fine. I created a symlink to the dropboxd file to my ~/.kde4/AUtostart, but does not work.

The command line I used to create the symlink is: ln -s ~/.dropbox-dist/dropdoxd ~/.kde4/Autostart/

I've check the symlink itself to see where it "pointed to" in it's properties, and it was the right file. The drobox-dist folder is in my /home/"username", and the dropboxd does work. I've tried using "sudo ln -s ~/.dropbox-dist/dropdoxd ~/.kde4/Autostart/" but no symlink was created.

I've checked other blogs and they all say the same things to make dropbox to autostart up, yet it is not working.

Does anyone know what's wrong?
