In ubuntu 12.04 LTS desktop, I'm trying to have chromium start up automatically for all users upon login. I did the following:

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop ~/.config/autostart/

What happens is that chromium only starts up for user that created the directory, and not any other users.

For all users, try with:

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart

or with:

for user in /home/*; do sudo cp /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop $user/.config/autostart/; done

The tilde character (~) refers to your home directory, so ~ it's equivalent with /home/your_username, which mean that you created that startup program only for you.
