trying to start app at boot up

[James Takac]

Hi Guys

What I'm noticing is that starting gdesklets via the .gnomerc script results 
in the window decorations showing and not going away. However the same 
command issued after gnome has started results in no window decorations 
around the desklet (starter bar in my instanstance). So now I'm wondering is 
there a place I can put the script so it starts after gnome starts up?
