Given ~/.config/autostart/openaterminal.desktop containing

If the two lines changed to
  Exec=sh
  Terminal=true
no terminal is opened.  Nothing in /var/log/* contains "autostart".

There may be some clues in ~/.xsession-errors.

BTW, your second case .desktop worked fine as a test here in KDE.

OP, what do you have /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator linked to?
wouldn't be lxterminal, would it?

your issue looks similar to this:

i don't have a DE handy.  i haven't tested it.
