@edgrin2 I’m sorry to hear that it didn’t work. xterm and konsole both did it on KDE. I don’t have Gnome, so I didn’t try gnome-terminal but according to the man page it should work if you add it to the Startup Applications:
gnome-terminal(1) User Commands gnome-terminal(1)
NAME

Executes the command command instead of the shell. This saves some
memory if you just plan to run a dedicated application on that win-
dow.

X Consortium.
