Autoruns for Ubuntu

For windows, there are various ways to start a program when a user logs in. There is a similar way to do that in Ubuntu. And the below description is based on Ubuntu 7.10.

Click the menu of "System=>Preferences=>Sessions" in the panel, a window of sessions will pop up. The first property page of the window is "Startup Programs". You can add the program you want to run as startup program. And it will be run every time when you log into the X windows.
