Its a very simple thing to do, but when i decided to stop loading up gDesklets on start-up, i’d forgotten how to do it!
So anyway, it’s in System –> Preferences –> Sessions and under startup programs you can add a command that will be excecuted on start up, type it in as if you were running the program from the terminal, eg ‘gaim’ not ‘Gaim’.
And thats it!
I found that the sessions manager wont remember the changes (Ubuntu 7.04) on my pc’s. So I asked elsewhere and found another way. Assuming you’re using gnome as your desktop, then in your user directory, i.e. /home/username create a file called .gnomerc Yes, the dot is needed. Put your script in there and it will start with your desktop
