I have auto-started programs in LXDE before by editing the following file: (If the file is not there, it can be created new)
/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/startup Then add a line such as @/usr/local/bin/xastir Use the actual location of the Xastir executable - or call a shell script that launches Xastir. It just dawned on me that the above might run as root, and if so, Ken's method is better.
