Here is one of my .desktop files created with Xfce4:


,----[ .config/autostart/YeahConsole.desktop ]
| [Desktop Entry]
| Encoding=UTF-8
| Version=0.9.4
| Type=Application
| Name=YeahConsole
| Comment=YeahConsole
| Exec=yeahconsole
| StartupNotify=false
| Terminal=false
| Hidden=false
`----

I don't think all entries are necessary...

Regards,
Andrei
