bro, if it's a command line program you can do this in the crontab:
@reboot /home/me/bin/myscript.sh
more info: http://team.macnn.com/drafts/crontab_defs.html
On some systems you can even start GUI programs with the @reboot
You'll have to test and depends a bit on startup order and desktop
environment, but usually you can get away with something like this
#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
# give the DE time to load
sleep 20
/usr/local/bin/MyFancyXApp &
exit

I'd like to know how to start a program automatically after booting.
For example, I wish to let "Mail Notification" program start
automatically after logging on.
Could you tell me the method?
Are you using KDE/GDM, or XFCE? Automatically starting programs is
usually functionality that is invoked when you login, and the process
depends on the window environment you use. XFCE has Sessions and
Startup option in the settings manager (which ends up creating files in
~/.config/autostart).
