You can set these programs to run automatically when you log in, using 
the "Startup Programs" tab of the "Sessions" preferences. (This could 
be much more obvious than it is, for example by giving the control 
panel a name better than "Sessions".)

You can also add the programs to the panel at the top/bottom of the 
screen by clicking on an empty part of it (if there is one) with the 
right mouse button (if you have one) and choosing "Add to Panel...". 
(Again, this could be much more obvious than it is. For example, it 
should show up when you search the help for "how can I start programs 
quickly".)
