How to change the order of startup applications?

Question

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick.

I have a long list of startup applications as you can see here: startup apps

I have added an entry for Google Chrome, and I would like Google Chrome to start like first of all the other applications... How is this done?

These will start in alphabetical order, so you can name the startup application 0-Chrome to start it before the others.

You can use a startup script and make it look like:

#!/bin/bash
app1 &
app2 &
sleep 2s
app3 &

Make it executable and add an entry in the startup applications like:

sh /path/to/startupscript.sh
