You'll need to create a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart
Open Gedit and use this template, replacing "lxpanel" with the command to start the application you would like to add to startup:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/lxpanel
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=lxpanel
Name=lxpanel
Comment[en_US]=lxpanel
Comment=lxpanel
Save that file in ~/.config/autostart
NOTE: THE FILE MUST END WITH .DESKTOP, NOT .TXT
be sure not to accidentally name it example.desktop.txt
