If you're running kde, one way is to pop a link to your script into 
$HOME/.kde/Autostart directory.  This might be tedious to do if you have lots 
of users.   Another method is to modify /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession; this is what 
we add to the script (somewhere near the top).

# do any hgs initial setup for non system accounts
if (( $UID > 499)) ; then
  /usr/local/bin/hgssetup
fi
