You said you can do it from the command line. so just create a script
which do the trick and add it in "Startup Programs" at gnome-session-
manager. If you don't know how to make a script, you just need to create
a text file with each command you need to type in a different line and
put #!/bin/bash in the 1st line. Mark this file as executable (either in
nautilus or by chmod +x filename.
