    type code in terminal and write Avant Window Navigator instead of application name

    dpkg -l | grep "application name"

    for an example to learn chromium;

    burak@stat:~$ dpkg -l | grep "chromium"
ii  chromium-browser                              32.0.1700.102-0ubuntu0.13.10.1~20140128.970.1 amd64        Chromium browser
ii  chromium-browser-l10n                         32.0.1700.102-0ubuntu0.13.10.1~20140128.970.1 all          chromium-browser language packages
ii  chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra                  32.0.1700.102-0ubuntu0.13.10.1~20140128.970.1 amd64        Extra ffmpeg codecs for the Chromium Browser
ii  unity-scope-chromiumbookmarks                 0.1+13.10.20130723-0ubuntu1                   all          Chromium bookmarks scope for Unity

    You can see the code which starts chromium in the second line "chromium-browser"

    Have a nice day :)

  2. In command you've to write avant-window-navigator and in comment you can write any thing as you wish. for example AWN - MacOS X for Gnome. And in name also you can write any thing like Avant Window Navigator.

    That's it. :)

    1. Type sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator (in case you have not installed it)
    2. In order to know, which command to enter in command field: type synaptic in terminal (to open the synaptic manager). Type avant-window-navigator in search box. If you have installed it, it will be highlighted. Right-click it to open its properties, then in installed files tab you will see the files installed. If you have "/usr/bin/avant-window-navigator" in it, then thats your command to type in command field.
    3. In startup applications preferences window, click add and type Avant Window Navigator in name field, type avant-window-navigator in command field and (optional) finally add your comment in comment field.
    4. Click add to complete the startup application addition process.
