Hi,  

were autostart is located depends on the environment and on the used
distro. For my Ubuntu Wily install I needed to clear XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
at top of my openbox autostart config, to get rid of unwanted
autostarts.

I don't need to do this for my Arch Linux install.

  [weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ grep XDG .config/openbox/autostart 
  export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=""
  [weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ grep XDG /mnt/archlinux/home/rocketmouse/.config/openbox/autostart
  [weremouse at moonstudio ~]$

At least /etc/xdg/autostart/ is active by default for Ubuntu flavours
and Ubuntu derivatives, what ever WM/DE you're using.

Instead of ~/.profile, I would use ~/.bashrc. Usually bash is the login
shell, so a ~/.bashrc is available. Instead of using two
locations, ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc, I would edit just one location,
~/.bashrc.

  [weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ grep -v "#" .profile 


  if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
      if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
	  . "$HOME/.bashrc"
      fi
  fi

  if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
      PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
  fi
  [weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ ls -hAl /mnt/archlinux/home/rocketmouse/.profile
  ls: cannot access /mnt/archlinux/home/rocketmouse/.profile: No such file or directory

For Gene's purpose /etc/rc.local is asking for a race condition, it
seems to be better to run the command while starting a session and not
during startup.

IMO /etc/xdg/autostart/ is the appropriate location for Gene's purpose.
