gt

This is gt a shell script in my /usr/local/bin


#!/bin/bash

# Calling gnome-terminal which fills the display area
# hides the menu bar
# when used as a startup, this would give a terminal over the X
# Thus helping the people who have the habit of opening the gnome-terminal the first thing, they login in init 5.
# Those kind prefer init 3 in the /etc/initrd, but this script should help provide a near possible setup ;)

exec gnome-terminal --geometry=125x39+0+0 --hide-menubar --tab --active --tab --tab

exit 0

I have put this script to load as a startup program in GNOME using gnome-session-properties.
looking for command line way to include scripts / bins in the startup (when X starts).
Peeking through. the .gnome2 in the ~/ had some file called session-manual which had

[Default]
num_clients=2
0,RestartStyleHint=3
0,Priority=50
0,RestartCommand=/usr/bin/firefox
1,RestartStyleHint=3
1,Priority=50
1,RestartCommand=/usr/local/bin/gt

As always, there should be a better way, a more understandable way, to include a script/ bin to start automatically at the startup.
