linux freeDesktop services autostart
/etc/xdg/autostart and ~/.config/autostart are specified by the freedesktop.org project to start applications at login time. The freedesktop.org specifications are honored by nearly every desktop environment on linux. if you want to provide a mechanism to autostart an app or to specify a menu entry or a mime-type that is not specific to one desktop environment only, than you can rely always on the freedesktop.org stuff.
