Edit the user's ~/.xsession and execute the program before the session
manager/window manager starts:

    #!/bin/sh
    # .xsession
    /path/to/X/program &
    exec fluxbox

It's important to have any programs before your window manager or
session manager run in the background; hence the appended '&'.
