Does this mean you installed a different session manager (e.g. lightdm) or that you changed the slim background from the control centre?
I know that changing the login manager from slim to lightdm has brought problems launching the desktop-session program designed specifically for antiX and slim, so it is not strange if you are now experiencing problems with startup programs.
Could you let us know if you also changed the login manager? Or maybe you have selected some “minimal” desktop session option (like minimal-icewm) which disables all extra startup functions?

We will try to help based on the answers to these questions.

Open the tab for desktop-session.conf

then open the tab for startup
To get the volumeicon running properly mine looks like this
# Puts a volume icon on the taskbar
sleep 5 ; volumeicon &
