As it isn't part of Debian, there is no guarantee that it will behave as a Debian package should behave - it could have all manner of weird control systems. It doesn't want to download from the website either so I can't help. For a compliant Debian package, in GNOME, you either control background programs via System->Preferences->Sessions or as root via /etc/init.d/ and invoke-rc.d. Anything else is just not Debian.

Probably not - you'd have to find out how that package is meant to be controlled, via /etc/init.d/ or something else. -- Neil Williams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
