I'm not sure, but, doesn't irexec need X to work? so, executing it by rc.local, won't work. Have you tried starting it from a xterm (konsole,...)?

Re: rc.local don't execute any command!

if it needs X then u could use the gnome autostart system ... xfce uses the sae as well ... i'm not sure but kde might use the same base as well .... add via their respective menu options..
gnome: System > Prefernces > sessions
xfce: *Session* i can't remember, sorry ..
the same is for kde, most liekly under session management, of some sort...

gnome's directory is .. /noriko/.config/autostart | i think xfce uses that as well, i'm not sure about kde,,,

they are just desktop files: gaim.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=No name
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Exec=gaim
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

I don't use lirc anymore, but i'm quite sure that what i made, was putting irexec in the autostart folder (KDE)
