Sorry, I misunderstood your question earlier. It wouldn't be perfect, but you could just create new user for this purpose and then add the relevant program invocation to their .bash_profile or .bashrc file such that the terminal program is launched immediately upon login. However, with this method, when you quit the terminal program you would still have to exit the shell manually - but I'm sure that there would be some way around this???
