With twm and the origional vnc-xstartup script, it is just adding the 
commandline to start the application to the ~/.vnc/xstartup script. There are 
some details: All commands must be started in the background (add '&' at the end 
  of the command) and there is a prefered order. Just start adding one command 
and see where it fits in. Most likely next to the `xterm &` already in there.


With other window- or displaymanagers, it is just following the managers 
documentation to do so.
