So I went into ~/.config/autostart/ but there is no file: minimwatch.desktop There is a MinimWatch file with a pale purple icon, described in Properties as Type: desktop configuration file (application/x-desktop) Comment: remote control for MinimServer. "Opening" it simply seems to restart MinimServer. Dragging it into gedit produces this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=MinimWatch
Comment=Remote control for MinimServer
Exec="/home/nick/minimwatch/bin/starti" auto
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Other;

Can you please confirm this is the file to add that line to; and what is the significance of the semi-colon at the end of the existing file: does it denote the end of the file or that particular line (or neither)? Sorry if I'm being dense or over cautious here.

This file is the ~/.config/autostart/minimwatch.desktop file. You can add the extra line at the end of the file. The semicolon is part of the Categories setting.

I am hoping that setting the additional delay to 10 seconds will be enough to solve the problem. When I have more information from you about this, I can make the necessary change to the code in MinimWatch.
