Public bug reported:

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/scripts/program1/run
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/scripts/program2/run
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/user/scripts/program2/run2', both records will be kept.
