To run a program on startup, you simply should add the command that runs it at the end of the .bashrc file, and to make it run in the background, add & to it.
Example :
Let's say that the command to run autokey is autokey, all what you have to do is:
gedit ~/.bashrc
Then go to the end of the file and type autokey &.
Then save and exit.
At the next restart, it should start on startup and in background.

First, find which command that opens chrome, then put it in the end of the ~/.bashrc file. For example, ifchromeorgoogle-chromeis the command to run in the terminal to open Google chrome, just typechrome &(orgoogle-chrome &) in the end of the~/.bashrcfile and it should open in background at startup the next reboot.
