In my previous Ubuntu 12.04 installation, I had a couple of .desktop launchers in ~/.config/autostart for dropbox and a VNC server. I copied those same launchers to my new Kodibuntu 14.04 installation, and they don't work.

Code:

elliott@kodi:~/.config/autostart$ ll
total 16K
drwxrwxr-x  2 elliott elliott 4.0K Feb  7 17:00 ./
drwxr-xr-x 14 elliott elliott 4.0K Feb  7 16:54 ../
-rw-rw-r--  1 elliott elliott  235 Feb  7 16:54 dropbox.desktop
-rw-rw-r--  1 elliott elliott  145 Feb  7 16:59 vino.desktop
elliott@kodi:~/.config/autostart$ cat dropbox.desktop

this only works when logging into the desktop. For the kodi session, use init scripts or put the start command in /etc/rc.local
