For perspective I read 
  "http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html";
  Desktop Application Autostart Specification.
Interesting.

I created an empty ~/.config/autostart/.desktop, started X 
and found nothing new.

WIth exec=skype in the above file, still nothing interesting.

Then I changed the file name to ~/.config/autostart/skype.desktop 
and tried both the empty case and exec=skype as above.  Still 
no autostart of skype!

Someone please narrow down the possibilities.

Thanks,           ... Peter E.
