What are you using as a Desktop Environment? Certain with DEs the Autostart programs need to be added in the config file.

Cinnamon.

Which config file?

According to the Arch Wiki you need to place the .desktop file in:

~/.config/autostart/*****.desktop

You also need to add the following line to the .desktop file:

X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

But that's probably the hard way to do it, I think the settings panel should also have a Startup Application tab.

Thanks for looking that up. That’s where my desktop file is located. And it has the X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true line. The settings panel does have a Startup Application tab, and that’s what I used. It created the .desktop file in the appropriate location.
