Havng learnt about synclient and its control of the Touchpad on my laptop, and found some commands which tweak the Touchpad satisfactorily, I have put them in a little shell script, so all 3 can be executed with one little command.
It would be even easier if the lines could be appended to a VL shell script that runs anyway on booting, so that setting up of the Touchpad becomes totally automatic, but where would I place the lines?
It's always been a mystery to me which scripts are executed on boot up and in which order.

If you want the script to be run at boot time, add your script path to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
PS: It apply to all the linux based OS

rc.local is great for commands that are run as root, early in the boot process. Its location varies some.
To run a command as regular user, your WM or DE should have a location for you to put your startup commands.
Icewm uses ~/.icewm/startup
KDE3 uses ~/.kde/Autostart
XFCE users, what method do you use?

For XFCE, you can add command in Session and Startup Menu.

It's on the menu under Settings > Session and Startup. You can add items on the Application Autostart tab via a dialogue box.

And please not to forget fluxbox ~/.fluxbox/startup  |

Under 'Sessions and Startup' I have two tabs, 'General' and 'Advanced'.
Under 'General', there are tick boxes, as follows:
Session chooser
[] Display chooser on login
Logout settings
[] Automatically save session on logout
[tick] Prompt on logout
Under 'Advanced', there are tick boxes, as follows:
Compatibility
[] Launch Gnome services on startup
[] Launch KDE services on startup
Security
[] Manage remote applications
so, there's no 'Application Autostart' tab.
There's an 'Autostarted Applications' entry on the Settings menu, but that's just a list of autostarted applications.

Sorry, I upgraded XFCE to 4.6.1 and I guess it's a little different from the version which comes with VL6. But I know there's somewhere to add autostarts in there too!
