Sorry - I was wrong about the Autostart dir - this is what's in the
xinitrc:

# Start-up stuff from ~/Desktop/Autostart directory, if it exists
# (as it seems to be the new standard)
if test -d "$HOME/Desktop/Autostart"; then
  for i in `ls -1 -L ${HOME}/Desktop/Autostart/ 2>/dev/null`; do
    if test -x $HOME/Desktop/Autostart/$i; then
      $HOME/Desktop/Autostart/$i &
    fi
  done
fi

if test -f $HOME/.Xmodmap; then
	xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap
fi

# End of clip

...so then you'd have a /home/yournamegoeshere/Desktop/Autostart
directory and that's where you'd put your softlinks...
