How to add startup programs in Sessions?


I am following directions to set up my Ubuntu Installation (8.10) for Netbook Remix. As part of the directions it asks me at the end to:

Add netbook-launcher (if using 8.10) to your startup programs. Go to System>Preferences>Sessions and add entry for this command.

I went to sessions to do it and see Netbook Launcher listed and selected to add it but it prompts me with the following menu:

Name
Command
Comment

What do I put in these blanks so that I can set this up? For Command it gives me the option to browse.

name and comment can be anything, and command is the path to the program... something like /usr/local/bin/something
