You can use the autostart dir [1], but you'll need to do the work yourself.  
You could add a wrapper to starting X2 and a script in the autostart dir.  Or 
better would be a check script in the shutdown dir (if it exists) and a 
corresponding script in the autostart dir.

Here's some out of context code from something else, hack-and-slash as needed.

#!/bin/bash
/path-to-X2/X2
Pid=`pgrep -f /path-to-X2/X2`
if [ "$Pid" != "" ] ; then
#  echo Already running...
#  ps "$Pid"
  touch /home/foo/.trinity/apps-to-restart/X2
  exit
fi

In any event, what you want can be done, it just might be painful.
