You can also use GNOME Tweaks. You can install it with:

sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool

Tweaks has a Startup Applications menu entry, where you can search for installed applications and add them to the list of startup applications.

To start Seafile when you login to KDE: Launch autostart

Select 'desktop file' then 'add program' on right.

Type 'seafile-applet' in the search box and press OK.

I am using Gnome desktop and the launch via the seafile destop file would not work. What worked for me: I opened the seafile.desktop (/usr/share/applications) file in an editor and checked out the exec line (seafile-applet). I tested to start seafile with typing 'seafile-applet' in the terminal, which worked fine. I then added this line in the command field of the dialog of the startup application. So basically very similar to the KDE version as described above.

In Ubuntu, a symlink in ~/.config/autostart works fine:

cd ~/.config/autostart/
ln -s /usr/share/applications/seafile.desktop

Using this solution, Seafile also shows up in the "Startup Applications" GUI. – s.d Sep 03 '20 at 07:24
