I'd love to have lunch every time my comuter boots :-)

Hmm, i know the question was about 'every time the computer boots', but
WindowMaker is a window manager and hence gets started as the last application
during an x session. I'd fiddle with the WindowMaker configuration files. A
quick look at the manpages ('man wmaker'), section 'Files':

 ...

 ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart
              This script is automatically executed  when  Window
              Maker is started.


So you need to put such a file into the 'GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker' directory
in you home directory and add a line like this:

 your_wm_app &


Don't forget to make the file executable ('chmod 700 ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart') 
and you probably want to make shure that it starts with

 #!/bin/bash

I hope this helps
