Bug 472454

SUMMARY

AutoStart will not start bash scripts or non Flatpak/Snap based installed applications.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Create a bash script which attempts to start another application,  calls a python script, etc... 
2. Add this script to AutoStart as a login script
3. Reboot and see if it runs

or 

1. Add an AutoStart entry for an application that is not a Flatpak or Snap application (something installed via .deb or APT)
2. Reboot and see if it runs

OBSERVED RESULT

It doesn't start the application on login unless it is installed via Flatpak or Snap. Scripts don't seem to execute either.

EXPECTED RESULT

It starts the script or application on login.

Do note that script could be performing any action creating a new file, starting an application, etc... For some odd reason it will not execute on login, and I've even tried creating my own .desktop file to no avail with and without Terminal=true. The python script runs fine if ran from a terminal, so I know it works.
