** Description changed:

- The "Launch Cairo-Dock on startup" feature wasn't working, so I looked into what it does. "Run cairo-dock and right-click the dock and go to Cairo-Dock > Launch Cairo-Dock on startup. The settings will be stored in ~/.config/autostart/ and sourced the next time you login." According to <https://glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=First%20Steps&lang=en#4-Cairo-dock%20method>. I tried terminating cairo-dock and then running it from the console. When I click the option to launch on startup, it displays the following: 
- "warning :  (/build/cairo-dock-3.4.1/src/gldit/cairo-dock-file-manager.c:cairo_dock_copy_file:528)  
-   couldn't write to file '/home/owner/.config/autostart' (Bad file descriptor)"
