Hi Siva,

I think this is related to the "Type" not being defined in the shortcut. If you browse to ~/.config/autostart/Drapes the following should be in the file:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Drapes
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Exec=drapes
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

Logout and login again and it should automatically start Drapes. Let me know how it goes!

Can you help with this problem?
