Can anyone provide some tips on auto-starting a client in full screen mode in Linux?

If I use a web browser and click on full screen it works great - but I would like the full screen client to load with the window manager. I was thinking of making a bash script (or whatever) that I can have executed at window manager load time that will launch the client in fullscreen mode.

Thanks!

Yes, you can make a bash script that invokes javaws with the url to the full screen client. The command looks like this:`\path\to\javaws "http://192.168.1.5:8088/main/system/launchfs/client/Project.jnlp"`

Perfect - worked great. Thanks!

On Fedora13, the binary is

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/jre/bin/javaws
