I get the same message, so I cant add programs to the startup-list.

In previous version you could add programs with *.desktop files in ~/.config/autostart/. It seems that this isn't possible anymore.
Are there any config-files to add programs to the startup?

Thanks for the report.  This should be fixed in svn trunk now.
