If using a desktop such as gnome or kde I would suggest putting it in
your desktop's session startup. You'll have to refer to your preferred
desktops configuration.

If using the startx method you could add the appropriate command to your
~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc file.

Other methods, would involve finding the start additional applications
option in your preferred window manager.

>From your posted question I think you were talking about having it start

at boot time. I don't think this would be the best way to do it but you
could create an init script and place it in /etc/init.d and create a
link to /etc/rc<your default run level>.d/S99<script name>. I am not
even sure if this would work because it would be started as root. The
other three methods are what I would suggest.
