Running a command after login

[qwert]

All I want to do is to launch xchat after my Pi gets to the desktop. No amount of googling has managed to find anything that works, sadly. Simple instructions on which file to put "xchat" into would be appreciated.

One way to do it would be to open a terminal window and type "xchat" at the prompt.

I'm sure that LXDE has a way to add commands to its menus (and one can easily make desktop shortcuts out of menu items), but I need to research how to do that myself.

Should have been more clear, I want to run it automatically.

~/.xinitrc

put it in there.

~/.xinitrc

put it in there.

This file does not exist by default. (Yes I know how to ls -a)

Adding it both with and without execute permissions does nothing at all.

Figures....

~/.xinitrc

That's actually quite handy. I'll have to remember that.
