SUMMARY
AutoStart will not start bash scripts or non Flatpak/Snap based installed
applications.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a bash script which attempts to start another application, calls a
python script, etc...
2. Add this script to AutoStart as a login script
3. Reboot and see if it runs
or
1. Add an AutoStart entry for an application that is not a Flatpak or Snap
application (something installed via .deb or APT)
2. Reboot and see if it runs
OBSERVED RESULT
It doesn't start the application on login unless it is installed via Flatpak or
Snap. Scripts don't seem to execute either.
EXPECTED RESULT
It starts the script or application on login.

Do note that script could be performing any action creating a new file,
starting an application, etc... For some odd reason it will not execute on
login, and I've even tried creating my own .desktop file to no avail with and
without Terminal=true. The python script runs fine if ran from a terminal, so I
know it works.
