Is there a place in the login/startup process that I can do this?
With Gnome's "Startup Applications", a script is not guaranteed to be
executed before the rest of the desktop.

You can try putting it in .xsession or .Xclients in your home directory.

I did try but to no avail.

Every page on Google from a "gdm x session startup" search claims that GDM does not execute the classic X user session scripts unless you specifically select "Custom..." as your session type rather than "GNOME" or "KDE". And in that case, you are responsible for launching the window manager/desktop yourself.

So X session scripts are a no-go. Just have to poke around some more, I guess.
