Bug Description

We have several applications that are autostarted with the typical XDG/Freedesktop mechanism. These appear under the "Autostart" pane in LXQt Session Settings. LXQt Session also supports something called LXQt Modules which are shown on the initial "Basic Settings" pane. With this, applications can be started and stopped right within the dialog and there is more robust handling and feedback to the user when there are problems. More on that here:
https://lxqt-project.org/blog/2022/09/20/about-modules-in-lxqt/

Only one addition to the .desktop file is required to essentially convert normal autostarts to LXQt modules:
X-LXQt-Module=true

I propose we apply this to all of our autostarted applications.
