Assuming you are running a gnome desktop, you can use the gnome-session manager
to load such things for you. Look at the gnome-control-center under "Session
Properties and Startup Programs"
If you are running gnome, then thats the best place to put stuff that should start
when you log in to your gnome session. Dont worry so much about breaking X, thats
what this list is for. As long as you can use email from a console that is..
You'll want to turn off that "Automatically Save Changes To Session" rubbish,
I dont know anyone that likes that, and its the default too !

neither probably, but if you must then .xsession
Does that help ?
