   NAME
        icewm-startup - icewm startup configuration file

   SYNOPSIS
        $ICEWM_PRIVCFG/startup
        $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icewm/startup
        $HOME/.icewm/startup
        /etc/icewm/startup
        /usr/share/icewm/startup

   DESCRIPTION
       The startup file contains commands to be executed on icewm startup.
       This is an executable script. Typically the commands tweak X11 settings
       and launch some applications that always need to be active.  It is run
       by icewm-session(1) when icewm starts.

   EXAMPLES
        #!/bin/bash
        xset r rate 250 32
        flameshot &
        volumeicon &
        redshift-gtk &
        picom -b

       Remember to "chmod +x ~/.icewm/startup".  The first line must be a
       hash-bang, followed by the path of your script interpreter or shell.

   FILES
       Locations for the startup file are as follows:

        $ICEWM_PRIVCFG/startup
        $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icewm/startup
        $HOME/.icewm/startup
        /etc/icewm/startup
        /usr/share/icewm/startup

       The locations are searched in the order listed; the first file found is
       executed and the remainder ignored.
