That would depend on 
o GUI desktop manager, Gnome, KDE, LXDE, XFCE, Openbox, Enlightenment, 
  Fvwm, Fluxbox, Window Maker, IceWM, Blackbox, Afterstep, ...
o release/version of the desktop manager
o whether it is to be a global or user level setting
o release/version of your OS install

You would think there would be blurb in the desktop user documentation.
Of course there is the option of looking through the start up scripts.  :)

While waiting for a specific answer to your post, you might look
through files in /etc/X11/xinit or /etc/X11/

That is what cron/batch jobs are for.  :)
