ajmal_82,

I am not sure why the link is not working for you, as it is working here. If for some reason you have a firewall or proxy that is filtering out the first link, you can try this one:

    http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/stable/gosstartsession-2.html.en

The first one provide some good user experience. The second one is Gnome documentation which will explain essentially two ways for you to do what you need.

Please report back here if this resolves your question, or if you need more information.

Best regards,

Harvey

ajmal_82,

Did that solve your question, or do you need more information?

If you are using kubuntu and not ubuntu, then the above links will not be of much help.

Thanks,

Harvey
