How to make aDesklets load on boot


I just started using aDesklets. They appear alot more stable on my system, and to work better in general. The only problem is when I reboot they don't aren't saved as part of my session, so I find myself reloading them everytime I start my comptuer. So my first question is:

1.) How do I make aDesklets load on boot?

I've tried putting the .py file in the "load these programs on startup" section under System -> Preferences -> Sessions, but that doesn't work.

My second question is when they load, they always load up into the top left hand corner of my screen. How do I configure them to load in the same place everytime. How come these things seem to have no memeory. So finally:

2.) How to I make them "remember" where to start up at on the screen?

I just use adesklets in fluxbox in Arch, but I just list the command adesklets (not a .py file) to start with fluxbox. I haven't had any problem with them not staying where I put them though.

Have you read the adesklets documentation at all? You are supposed to start each desklet once. If you do so correctly it won't appear on your screen, it'll be added to your ~/.adesklets file and the script will terminate itself. Then you run 'adesklets' to load the contents of ~/.adesklets gets executed and everything ends up in it's place.
