Bug Description
When using the startup applications GUI, scripts with the same file name but different paths will overwrite each other. For instance, if I added an entry as:
Name: program1
Command: /home/user/
Comment: program 1
I can exit the startup applications window and everything saves fine.
But if I later reopen and add an entry:
Name: program2
Command: /home/user/
Comment: program 2
both records will display on the main menu, but after closing and reopening the window, only program2 will be listed. The record for program2 overwrites the record for program1 when the startup applications window closes, but it looks like it works fine before you close it. If I named my script for program2, 'run2', as in: '/home/
