hello,

(for me) strange problem of double instances of Pd.

raspbian jessie Pi-3, headless, VNC on laptop.

in /.config/LXEsession/autostart:
@lxpanel --profile LXDE-pi
@pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE-pi
@puredata

after boot in Terminal command 'top':

lxpanel
......


there are 2 instances of puredata (and also 2 lxpanels)!
and only one GUI visible on screen.

when i close the GUI, 1 Pd instance disappears, 1 remains (and a WISH).

without puredata in autostart there's only 1 lxpanel.

anybody experience with this?

is there better way to get Pd automatically started at boot?
