  I could be mistaken, but firestarter should automagically start at
boot. It's a service started by /etc/init.d/firestarter that sets up
your firewall. Use sysv-rc-conf to enable/disable it.

  You can see that your firewall is configured with iptables -L (you
should see a lot of rules added by firestarter).

  Now if you want the graphical interface to start at logon, i think you
should put "gnome-sudo firestarter" and not simply firestarter in
system/preferences/session.

  The graphical interface is just meant to see forbidden packets. The
firewall is running and working whether you start the graphical
interface or not.
