I believe 'gnome-session-properties' is what you are looking for. It has a tab called 'Startup Program' where you can add such apps you want to run at GNOME startup.

I'm not sure why gnome-session-properties is not in the Preferences sub-menu anymore, i think it use to be there before. Anyway you can always run it from the command-line.
