on startup scripts

[James Takac]

Hi Nils

Tried that so far in the scripts, in my case using .gnomerc in the user 
directory to house the script. Alas it sleeps then continues to load gnome 
from what I can tell. Currently looking into placing a script inside the 
init.d directory but need to work how to get it to execute.
