    I'm using Fedora 8. How do you add a program to launch when the os loads?

    For example i want gDesklets and kiba dock.

    Session Manager

    - Open System menu, then Preferences and finally the Session manager. Switch to the startup programs tab and click new.

    - Enter the name and command / browse for app executable.

    If you dont know the command, I suggest you go to where you would normally find the icon to launch the app, right click it and select to create an icon on the desktop. Then right click the icon created on desktop, select properties and there it will display the command. Copy and paste the command.
