This is a method to control start-up of applications in a Linux Desktop session that are run by a local default configuration, but can also be overriden by the user.

I have been using a shell script to toggle pulse audio sinks for some time. It worked well enough for switching output among several profiles on a single audio card.

A few months ago I extensibly modify picowiki and creeated NanoWiki. After using NanoWiki for a few months, the code became somewhat of an spaghetti mess. This has to do that picowiki was designed as a single file, single class application with Plugin extension. Since every change went to a single class this quickly became difficult to manage. Additionally, I realized that "NanoWiki" was not a very good name as this ...
