I want to start a wine application when system startup.

However this app need a Xwindow environment. I could only launch it manually by hand now, so I have to login first then start the app.

I have searched something about Xsession startup setting. I think applying that method would require a login. How can I start the app without login?

You CAN'T start an X11 application without login. I think you mean you don't want to enter your username and password every time.

If this is the case, first, you should set up autologin on your display manager. Since you haven't provided any information on what DM do you use, I can't help with the exact instruction (anyway, a quick search will do).

Second, you have to add the wine command line to your WM/DE autostart file. The autostart file varies per WM/DE. Search for it.

This should do.
