Ubuntu touchegg won't start on startup using /etc/rc.local

Question

I can run touchegg successfully by sh /etc/rc.local but it won't automatically start on startup.

contents of my rc.local:

#!/bin/sh -e
exec 2> /tmp/rc.local.log
nohup touchegg &
exit 0

rc.local logs on startup:

nohup: appending output to 'nohup.out'
touchegg: cannot connect to X server

I'm running ubuntu 14.04.2

Answer 1

I forgot about this post but I found the solution I just needed to wait a little bit for lubuntu to initialize X server. I just added sleep at the beginning.
