If you are running the GUI by typing 'startx' from the console, you ought to be able to put commands into a file in your home directory called .xinitrc. If you're logging in through a graphical login screen though, .xinitrc might be ignored, so it's a little trickier... I think XDM (the default ugly login screen) reads stuff out of ~/.xsession. You may need to google around a bit to find out what to do with KDE (KDM) or Gnome (GDM) login screens. Those may offer some GUI configuration tool for running scripts at startup, I'm not sure.
