I assume you're answering me? I'd thought of that, but unless I added it to the sudoers file, it would end up running as root not user. Which I'm starting to think might not be such a bad idea, 'cause every time I start a terminal (which admittedly isn't that much), it brings the focus back to the calendar 'cause it re-sources the .profile.

I just thought there might have been a 'official' tablet/maemo/hildon 'Startup' folder or method. Seems not. TX
Just for the record I ended up having to put an rc script in, 'cause although I hadn't realized it, whenever the .profile was re-sourced (opening a new terminal, some parts of a package manager install, etc), it was starting multiple instances of the calendar.

FWIW
