How do I add startup programs in Gnome 3?

[Michael Spahn]

I think there actually isn't a option in Gnome 3.

You can use the .xinitrc file in your home folder.

This file will be executed by login in with you user.

cat "(sleep 1 && gkrellm) &" >> ~/.xinitrc

This isn't a solution for a missing function, but it works.

Regards,
Michael
