What Desktop are you using? GNOME? KDE? XFCE? FVWM? ICEWM?
GDM can start any Desktop environment.
They aren't login scripts... session managers. You can use your personal
xinit stuff as well. But until we understand more about your question
and environment... it'll be hard to help you.

It is possible that you have your Desktop Environment to save the
session, so that next time you boot it starts with the same programs
open. Perhaps that is what is happening. Try closing the programs and
then log out and back in again and see what happens.

Every evening i like to close all the applications i have used during the day, and i do it.Again, usually i use graphical applications (like openoffice, or mozilla) only on 1st and 2nd desktop, and shells on 3rd and eventually 4th desktop.
Thanks!

in gnome desktop preferences is a program called "session". Look
in there for the solution to your problem.

You have to ADD openoffice writer to the "auto-start" section.
add the gnome-terminal with the proper switches to open where you want
it to "auto-start"
Add the other stuff.
It is really rather simple. There should be some items in the autostart
already.
since I no-longer run GNOME, its a bit difficult for me to actually
step-by-step you right this moment.

Hi.You have to ADD openoffice writer to the "auto-start" section.
add the gnome-terminal with the proper switches to open where you wantit to "auto-start"I say that openoffice2 and shell automatic start, and that i DON'T want it....Probably there was a misunderstanding :-)
I would like to DISABLE the automatic start of openoffice and shell in 3rd desktop at every boot!

Okay, now you've finally explained your issue.
goto the session manager again, find the "ask on logout" or similar
check box. Enable it. Close the dialog.
Then CLOSE EVERYTHING you do not want to auto-open next time.
Do a proper logout from the menu. Enable the "save settings" or what
ever it is called. Logout...
Wait for X to restart proper, log back in. You should notice it should
be fixed.
Then goto the session manager again, uncheck "ask on logout" again.
All, is good.

That's the right way!

You know in which files gnome2 write/backup those confgurations?Thanks again!

Yes, its a binary file in one of the $HOMEDIR/.gnome
directories. Unless you completely understand how to edit it... it will
possibly make you unable to login. Best just use the features already
given to you to modify it.

Maybe you have permissions wrong for some files. Like, you launched
something by root, file got owner root, and now it can't be written on
logout.
try in console
chown -R user ~
where "user" is your username

Atis... you misunderstand.
Now read what I write:
IF YOU EDIT THE SAVED-SESSION FILE, IT IS A BINARY BLOB. YOU
NEED COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THE FILE FORMAT. IF YOU EDIT IT,
BE PREPARED FOR IT TO NOT WORK UPON NEXT LOGIN. YOU ARE BEST OFF
USING EXISTING TOOLS (BEING "SAVE SESSIONS SETTINGS" FROM TH
LOGOUT PROMPT) TO MAKE THE FILE PROPER.
Also, he had saved the session before and didn't understand why it kept
coming back with OpenOffice and a Gnome-terminal.
Once he, fully briefed us as to his problem, he was fully informed on
howto do the proper procedure, to fix his issue, it worked a charm.
I thank you for your effort.

Perhaps, if you are using KDE, in the Control Center -> KDE
Componants ->Session Manager , you have :on loging start a manually saved
session, or something similar
