Starting a application with graphical interface on boot

I have a small question that I havn't found any answers to.

I run a virtual machine on my CentOS server, and I have made a simple script to start the virtual machine. I would like to run the script on boot so that the virtual machine starts up on boot also. So I successfully registered the script with following

chkconfig --add myscript

and enabled it with following

chkconfig --level 2345 myscript on

at last I checked it so its registered and enabled correctly with

$ chkconfig --list | grep myscript

So long, so fine, but when I restart my machine to test it, well nothing happens. So now I wonder why isn't my script running? I had some thaughts that it cold be because of some missing arguments, myscript requires an argument "start" to run properly, so I think that could be the cause why it's not running, in that case where should I add the argument?

Note also, my script is ok, or at least I can run it manually.

UPDATE

The script is run during boot and is working as it should. Tha application I try to start with a script, my virtal machine, has a graphical interface and it seems like it's that causing the trouble. Does anyone have any experience in starting a graphical application with script on boot, on unix based OS's ofcourse? Or if there are any other clever ways of achieve this?

Thanks!

Make sure that the proper symlinks get created in /etc/rc.?/ and your startup script in /etc/init.d/ should contain start and stop methods.
