Hi Autif, thanks a lot for providing the answer here. Since no one is showing any objections here, I updated the wiki page with your answer (https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/FAQ:How_do_I_change_and_add_startup). Please let me know if there is any suggestions or concerns.

I do not know of if the information is elsewhere - I had to find this information for my project

Here is my stab at it (already updated the wiki):

Q: How do I change and add startup scripts?

A: Edit meta/recipes-sato/matchbox-sato/matchbox-session-sato/session.
Of course, if you have your own meta-layer, append the matchbox-session-sato_0.1.bb recipe.

Disable 'matchbox-desktop' and 'matchbox-panel', however, do not disable 'exec matchbox-window-manager ...'

Don't forget to run your app as a background process

For example, the following code will start the fifteen game:

#matchbox-desktop &

# Lines containing feature-[foo] are removed at build time if the machine # doesn't have the feature "foo".

#START_APPLETS=showdesktop,windowselector
#END_APPLETS=clock,battery,systray,startup-notify,notify
#END_APPLETS=openmoko-panel-gsm,$END_APPLETS # feature-phone

#matchbox-panel --titlebar --start-applets $START_APPLETS --end-applets $END_APPLETS &

/usr/games/fifteen &

exec matchbox-window-manager -theme Sato -use_desktop_mode decorated -use_cursor $SHOWCURSOR $@
