I have written a small python script in Ubuntu 13.10, that when run opens 4 terminals and displays some useful information, is it possible for me to get this to run automatically after I login, I have tried a couple of methods but they all involve it running at start up and this wont leave the terminals displayed.

His Ubuntu probably uses gnome, so mentioning .gnomerc would complete your answer.
