ok ok so this does not work with X. I just like to see myself talk about the
old days!

Instead the modern way - in X

Gnome
*System > Preferences > Startup Applications
you get a list of standard programs - pick one or
click on add and add a new program to the list
presto

Kde (stolen from the Grey Geek)*
1. Open up Konqueror. Navigate to your home folder.
   2. Click on View. Select Show Hidden Files.
   3. Look for a folder named .kde and open it.
   4. Look for a folder named Autostart and open it.
   5. Click on the K Menu icon and navigate to the program that you 
would like to auto-start.
   6. Drag the icon for said program into the Konqueror window and 
select Copy Here when prompted.
*Presto
