on startup scripts

[James Takac]

Hi Nils

Prob solved. Found it's a bug that affects some systems and not others. The 
fix is to set the owner of .config/autostart to the user rather than root on 
the systems affected. From then on System->Preferences->Sessions-Startup 
programs will then work as expected.
