GUI I just point to this script:

 #!/usr/bin/env bash

(conky -p 5) &
(sleep 3s && tint2) &
(sleep 3s && nm-applet) &
(sleep 10s && cpu-usage-alert) &
(sleep 3s && /home/vasa1/.dropbox-dist/dropbox) &

I'm going to pass on your solution to the poster but it would be nice to
see some new/old faces at ubuntuforums.org :)
