I've never used any desktop widgets, but the easiest way to run most programs at startup is simply to create a link to the program exec in your desktop environment's autostart folder. Assuming you're using kde, you'll use ~/.kde/Autostart. I'm not familiar with gnome or other DE's, but there's probably something similar in them.
If that doesn't start it the way you want, you'll need to create a kde desktop link file or write a simple script that launches the programs the way you want and add it to Autostart instead.

I found a real easy way to do this, right click on desktop, select "link to application" then enter in command box "/home/your username/dashclock/dashclock.themes"
