I’ve been trying to run gDesklets at startup for months. Everybody used to say that it was just a matter of creating a new item under “Sessions”. Well, it was not working for me.
It was not a critical issue, so I let it go. But from time to time I went back googling around for a solution. Finally I found it in a post 10-month old from Ubuntuforums.org. The problem was not in the application but in the permission settings of the folder /home/[your user name]/.config/autostart. I did not have any write permission on that folder, therefore there was not way to set and save new items under “Sessions”.
