I want to run a simple bash script automatically when I log in. For example

#!/bin/bash
echo "start spotify"
gnome-terminal -e spotify --title spotify

When I run this command, one gnome-terminal shows up and spotify show up. I also want the gnome-terminal to popup "hidden" in a different virtual desktop. (one of the other four virtual desktops you can choose from taskbar)

I tried to add this to /home/me/.bash_login or something, but that didn't work..
