Essentially anywhere where it is executed upon X session
start. E.g. ~/.xsessionrc (that's where I like to have
it), or even in your .bashrc (if that is sourced by your
DE's startup sequence!). Or you make a tiny script and
hook that up to your DE's autostart mechanism. Or you
open up an xterm after logging in and type it manually
(not very convenient, I guess ;-).

It all depends a bit on the desktop environment you use,
and your personal preferences for setting things up.
Heck, you could even be bold and put it in a script in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d, thereby making it load for any user
logging into any session.
