The following is an example of how to launch a program running in a terminal upon boot, in Raspbian wheezy:

	sudo mkdir ~/.config/lxsession
	sudo mkdir ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE
	sudo nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

and add:

lxterminal --geometry=50x10 --title="MY TITLE" -e python /usr/bin/my_script.py

This will allow the same program to be launched from the desktop upon double-click:

lxshortcut -o ~/Desktop/my_launcher.desktop
