Start-UP Command Field Doesn't Support More Than One Command

[Lonnie Lee Best]

I have an application (sudo apt-get install autokey-qt) that doesn't provide an option to launch minimized (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autokey/+bug/1064085 ).

In Startup Applications, I attempted to solve this problem by running two command at once:
autokey-qt ; wmctrl -k on

From the command line the line above both launches autokey-qt and minimizes all windows, but as a Startup-Application-command it fails to even launch autokey-qt.

It would be nice if Startup Applications supported the ability to both (1) "allow you to launch an application" and (2) allow you to provide an additional command for controlling the window of that application.
