Re: How to run THIS command at start up?
try to include your command(s) in /etc/rc.local. That file will be execed after all the other rc.* stuff..
Also you can put your cammands in a runlevel dependend rc.* file, but note that this my be owerwritten on the next system upgrade!
best solution may be /etc/rc.local
good luck!

You may also be able to add it to your ~/.bashrc

Re: How to run THIS command at start up?
What are you trying to do?
Everything put in rc.local is run as root, and that might not be what you want to do...
Are you running kde (dcop is mainly a kde component)? If so, put that command in a text file, like this;
#! /bin/sh
feh --bg-scale `dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface currentWallpaper 1`make it executable with "chmod +x <filename>" and put it in .kde/Autostart

"Your beliefs can be like fences that surround you.
You must first see them or you will not even realize that you are not free, simply because you will not see beyond the fences.
They will represent the boundaries of your experience."
