Thanks Camaleón. 

Been there, read that. 

However, the offical how-to need us to hack into offical display 
manager's start up files. I thought this was bad, because when the 
display manager is updated, all your hacking is lost.

So I asked myself, "is there any better places, universal to all 3 
display managers and doesn't need to hack into exiting official code"?

First thing I thought of is the .desktop files that freedesktop.org has 
specified as the standard method of how the applications should be 
started when you start a X session. . .
