Update to previously written findings:

Empathy starts ok (occasionally with wrong notification "Password
required", see bug #840875) but skype doesn't start ever. When I have
tried some zenity dialogs into script, they didn't show, but empathy has
started:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
xinput --set-button-map "Laser Mouse" 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 8 9
empathy -h
zenity --display=:0 --info --text="Starting Skype..."
start-skype.sh

Very strange... Running Ubuntu 11.10 release, Unity 2D.

Title:
  ~/.config/autostart and /etc/xdg/autostart ignored

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-session

  Ubuntu 9.10 RC

  The list off applications listed on the ~/.config/autostar directory, are ignored and not auto started as expected.
  This happens with the main user (user group 1000). Using another user this does't occur.

  Have emptied the user directory for the main user (so, cleaned all the
  settngs and definitions for that user). Logout. Login. Added new
  programs to the ~/.config/autostart  (via System  > preferences >
  startup application. Logout. Login. No applications have autostarted.
  This includes the volume control, nm-applet and all other applications
  on the autostart list (/etc/xdg/autostart).
