I'm not sure what you mean, do you know about the 'startx' command and the 'gksudo' command? – Jul 21 '15 at 17:13

Place one or more desktop files in
/etc/xdg/autostart/
for a system wide configuration.
Eg:
sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gimp.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/gimp.desktop
To delay the start, replace the Exec property with eg
sh -c "sleep 20; gimp"
