Hi Aere,

as I know, just place the .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart/, that should 
do the automatization at login.
If you are using LXQt: It has an option in Session Settings for adding 
applications or scripts to autostart.

Could you paste the whole .desktop file? Would be a helpful context :D

Best regards,
Stefan
