After a successful login, what is the appropriate point at which to start SMBnetFS unattended?

An entry could be added to ~/.icewm/startup but this has a drawback. The system has multiple user accounts and a range of user selectable window managers. Adding multiple entries (i.e. an entry for each WM for each account) is cumbersome.

Is there a single location that can be used to start SMBnetFS and is used by all WMs?

This seems to be run as root which prevents the expected use of SMBnetFS. Is there an equivalent to rc.local that is run as the logged-in user?

in your ~/.xinitrc, outside and before any window manager entries.
You will need to check with anti, or bitjam as I am not sure how it has been changed with .xinitrc and .xinitrc-custom.

OK, I'll wait for comments as you suggest. The downside to placing entries in ~/anything will require separate enties for each user. I was hoping to find a single location to place the command and rc.local seemed OK for a while.
