Osmo does not autostart. What is the command?

    I just installed the latest version of LXLE and it is working great. Best OS I have used. There is one issue of Osmo not launching at all at startup. It is supposed to appear in the system tray. I know there is a very simple command to use to make this happen that can be entered in the LXSession configuration but I can not remember it or find it on the web. Does anyone know the answer?

    Yes I have Start minimised selected  and also Enable system tray in the Osmo GUI.

    First check if Osmo itself has a preferences to start the program on boot. If not then go into LXSession configuration then click AutoStart then enter osmo into the "manual autostarted applications" and press "Add".

    Yes, I tried that. Osmo does open on start but it does not appear in the
    system tray, it just starts full screen.

    Is there a setting within Osmo that says 'start in tray' or something similiar?  Perhaps check the man osmo in the terminal

    Yes there is are 2 boxes to check in the GUI to start minimized and to enable system tray and they are checked but they do not work.

    If I enable system tray and start minimized plus add osmo to the manual autostart section of default application for lxsession program it works.

    It does not work properly for me. It is a mystery. The command that I used to use for this issue was something like "osmo --min start" I can't remember what it was.

    That is the setting that I have. I don't know why it does not work.
