You could add any program by editing ~/.e16/e_config--0.0.snapshots and
add a new entry for a program. Because thats not very comfortable and
only could be done with e _not_ running (otherwise the changes will
be overwritten by e) there's a second solution.
Once I added 
-----
NEW: run
NAME: run
CLASS: run
CMD: /home/phriedrich/.e16/run.sh
------
as the four first lines of the aboved named config file and created the
run.sh-script on the described place.
Now I can easily add new programs to autostart just by inserting a line.
From my run.sh: 
-------
#! /bin/bash

xmodmap .xmodmap &
xscreensaver &
macosd -n &
Eterm --theme irssi --name=Irssi --title=Irssi -e irssi &
-------


Hope that helps you, 
best regards,

Friedrich

Post Scriptum: Maybe we could have a file like
'~/.e16/e_config--0.0.autostart' in which we can easily add programs to
start without the loop way with calling a run.sh. Or maybe even better a
'~/.e16/menus/autostart' which also had the advance to be more intuitive
and could also be edited with the menu-editor.
Just an idea....
