Pure gnome way:
run gnome-session-properties
The other way:
cd ~/.config/autostart/
and create there file with extension `desktop` i.e. `gaim.desktop`
than open this file in text editor and write:
Example 1. The gaim.desktop listing
[Desktop Entry] Name=Some name which you like Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Exec=gaim
and, finally `chmod u+x gaim.desktop`
second method will work with some other DE

gnome-session-properties says 'authentication rejected' etc.
I did this other method, using "Exec=sudo firestarter." Now when I start up, firestarter is open, but somehow the Gnome splash screen stays on until I click it. I don't know if it is the .desktop file that is opening firestarter, or Gnome's attempt to preserve the previous session. Now, the firestarter icon doesn't come up on the splash screen; I'm guessing because it's actually executing sudo and not firestarter? Interesting.
