@DemolitionDerby You can have the GUI run at startup by editing the /etc/profile file on the computer.
This is the bottom of the default file:
cd $HOME
clear
/etc/motd
source $HOME/.shrc -q
And here's how I've changed that to be now:
cd $HOME
brgc_gui
clear
source $HOME/.shrc -q
(A clear comes after the brgc_gui because the GUI doesn't seem to perform its own clearing when it exits)
