Indicator-cpufreq doesn't start on login

If I run



indicator-cpufreq


in the console it will start up just like it is supposed to and appear in the panel. However, if I place the same command in the startup programs it doesn't appear on login.



I'm using Mint Linux and the Cinnamon desktop. How can I run this program on login?

This worked for me in Mint 17.1



Create a desktop launcher & name it appropriately.
Edit the launcher using a text editor as follows:



[Desktop Entry]
Comment=CPUFreq Indicator Icon
Terminal=false
Name=Indicator-CpuFreq
Exec=indicator-cpufreq
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
Type=Application
Icon=gnome-panel-launcher
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true


Copy the launcher to ~/.config/autostart



Test by logging out and back in
