Yeah, I guess this is a design flaw on my part.
you have to hit the '+' to add it, and then OK
I guess I should make it add the item if something is in there when OK
is hit as well.
I will fix this issue as it is not what the user expects.
Thanks! in my head hitting plus made sense since you could be adding
multiple autostart items.
But both should work.

Jack, I think the way we used to do this was based on the terminal based
time zone selector that was not dialog based.
I exported the items, and appended them to the user's .profile or
.bashrc and also changed the system time/keyboard etc

I don't think I changed anything major with that in recent releases, so
this must be an on going issue.

@Nio
I think instead of using ztweaks auto we should ammend the bashrc or
profile OR even set the system settings, though ztweaks auto could be a
good workaround.  The user should not have to reselect the keyboard,
though.  Things should 'just work'

This is something that will take looking into
