Hi, I agree that symlinks to scripts no longer seem to work, whether manually created or from System Settings => Startup and shutdown => Add script. On the other hand, using .desktop files as described in [1] does work. If you do System Settings => Startup and shutdown => Add program, it will create the .desktop file for you.
