Hi, All
I want to start an X application automatically when I log on. I have tried
to do this with gnome-session-save, but it says this application cannot be
saved to session. Any alternative method? Thanks.

Launch gnome-session-properties, then from the gui select:

Startup programs --> add
and write the complete path of the application you want to start on
log on.

Obviously to get this working you have to start gnome with gnome-session.
