How do I add startup applications in Lubuntu/Lxde?

http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Autostart

Add a .desktop file to your ~/.config/autostart directory (create one if not available) with 3 lines saying :

 [Desktop Entry]
 Type=Application
 Exec=wicd-client -n

If the program you want to start has a *.desktop file, then simply copy or symlink it into the ~/.config/autostart directory.

  • http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html

Otherwise, for commands in general,

"For per-user autostart, use the ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart file."

It has the same format as /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart

Preferences > Desktop Session Settings

From here you can add or remove startup programs.
