I know about system-------->Preferences----------->Sessions, I know of /etc/init.d/rc1-5.d,~.xinitrc file, rc.local,.Autostart and etc. My question is where in Ubuntu (Debian Based) as stupid as it maybe but what is the file that control startup scripts? I am using GNOME. I would like to start an script when I login to GNOME desktop? This is just for personal knowledge. thanks

Why not add the script to System>Preferences>Sessions?

I have done that and it works fine but I just want to know what the directory and files control

system-------->Preferences----------->Sessions?

Items configured in System>Preferences>Sessions are .desktop files in ~/.config/autostart/ .
