Thanks, I'll try the .desktop file, but I would have thought that it
would execute the .sh file just as well.
Using /etc/skel does not add anything to user directories if that
directory is created by XFCE, which creates .config/autostart before
/etc/skel runs.  If I place it in /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/autostart then
run remastersys, then it shows up.
