Run Terminal at boot

Hey guys,
I've finally got Slitaz working nicely with wireless internet on the Roboard 110. I want to use VNC to access the roboard without a monitor / keyboard etc. Therefore, I need to have the system automatically open the xTerm terminal after booting and execute the x11vnc command. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

BTW
I tried to add a script to open x11vnc into the boot system, and it did indeed start x11vnc, but still during the boot process and not after I was logged in. Unfortunately, I was not able to connect remotely with this setup, so this option did not work.

Got it!
For Slitaz, the key was to add x11vnc to Start>Preferences>Auto Started Applications

This runs the script after openbox starts.
