Skype minify under Ubuntu-Mate

I am running Skype 8.20 under Ubuntu-MATE 16.04. It automatically starts after boot, but unlike defined in the settings: not minified / in-the-background, but as a regular window:

My question would be: Is there a way to ensure it starts minified? (Perhaps by finding the “startup folder“ of sorts under Ubuntu and adding a minify flag there? Wherever that is, perhaps the switches there are only compatible for KDE, Gnome, whatever… )

    And so, while we're at it: If you add skype to startup this way, you can also give it command line switches, including...

        /minimized     Starts Skype minimized to the system tray.
