You could try with spaceFM or terminal as root to copy it from /usr/share/applications to /etc/xdg/autostart.

Sorry, doesnt work for me. I just tried it.

Did you try adding a line to start it in the file ~/.desktop-session/startup? That should work for all the pre-installed window managers. Or you could try the startup file for a specific window manager like ~/.icewm/startup.

You would need to enable xdg autostart in ~/.desktop-session/desktop-session.conf
Then restart the session

Hello all 🙂
That did the trick !
“adding a line to start it in the file ~/.desktop-session/startup”
added the following to the end of the file

#edited by me the user to start plank
plank

Thanks all 😉
Going to mark as solved 🙂
