    With RC2 release I was use to add applications to ~/.config/autostart In RC3 I can not find this folder. How can I autostart e.g. the webbrowser (main use of my WattOS PC)

    /etc/xdg/autostart

    I added a program (clipboard manager) there right after install and it works just like it should. :)

    Alternately, you can also add an entry to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart. (text file)  IE:  @firefox

    Thanks it worked. For me this is okay but maybe somebody wants autostart user specific.

    Yeah, I don't know why there's not a .autostart folder in your /home folder like there is in some distros (might be a question of which desktop you're using.)
