Hey folks,
I've been using KDE's Plasma Desktop underneath of the Gnome 3 shell (the combination is perfect, IMO) but that requires me to hit alt+F2 and type "plasma-desktop" at startup. Obviously this isn't a big deal, but it'd be nice if the computer would just do it for my automatically on startup. Does anyone know how to do this? I googled, but found nothing useful.
Thanks!

If you want it to start everytime, you can open a terminal and type
gnome-session-properties.
Then click the Add button, give it a title and for the command use plasma-desktop. Logout and login.
Also here's a link from OMG ubuntu http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/how- ... ntu-unity/. They do it with scripts and it's for unity, but should work the same for gnome shell.
