Auto running rox -S at bootup

I've been happily running and using ROX on three different linux boxes
(Xubuntu, Ubuntu, and Crunchbang) for a few years. I am shortly going to
get a new machine and intend to use ROX on that as well. However I have
forgotten how to set up the system so that rox -S runs when the machine is
booted up! Nor can I find all my notes.

What is the simplest way to do this? I had thought that adding "rox -S" to
the etc/rc.local file might do the job. But that doesn't work on a Ubuntu
install I tried this morning. I'm fairly sure that adding a file like this
did work OK for the systems that I have doing this. but I can't recall the
details and haven't yet found the file (or my old notes).

I'll keep experimenting, but would welcome an explanation.

FWIW I plan to run Xubuntu (or maybe Mint or Crunchbang). And I prefer to
have one Xfce panel at the top of the screen with the rox panel at the
bottom.

Slainte,

Jim
