yes  I use /rw/config/rc.local.   If something like thudnerbird that need gui 
you can create directory ~/.config/autostart/  then put a .desktop file in 
there.  Then put it in /rw/config/rc.local file to launch at start.

In this case (graphical applications) the desktop entry may be the
better solution due to enforced startup ordering, but note also that
/rw/config/rc.local was created for similar purposes and may be a
suitable place for other per-VM "at startup" actions. See [1] and [2]
for more info.

Thanks. This worked for me. I haven't gotten around the other
suggestions in other replies, but this does everything I want it to so I
don't think it'll be necessary.

Yes, you can do the following in your AppVM:

1) make the directory /home/user/.config/autostart if it doesn't already exist

2) add a file inside that directory called (e.g) thunderbird.desktop that 
contains the following lines

[Desktop Entry]
Name=thunderbird
Exec=thunderbird
Type=Application

Reboot your AppVM and Thunderbird should start. Rinse and repeat for any other 
app.

The reason this works is that the autostart files are processed *after* the 
user's X session has started up.

Cheers
