"All programs, or symbolic links to programs, in ~/Desktop/Autostart/ will
be run by startxfce4 on startup."

So apparently ~/Desktop/Autostart is the direcory to put scripts in...
assuming the documentation is up to date ...

From
http://www.xfce.org/index.php?page=documentation&lang=en

The down side to this is that ~/Desktop/Autostart is not a "hidden" (dot)
directory, so if you use GNOME on the same system you will have a "Folder"
icon for it sitting there on the GNOME desktop when you log in to GNOME.

This strikes me as a silly way to do things on Xfce's part, but what do I
know?
