How can i make the application, Shutter (takes screenshots) open at startup? I know about sys > prefs > statup applications, but after I go to add what do I fill out the form with? Shutter isn't a command, is it?
You can drag and drop the Shutter menu item (Applications ➜ Accessories ➜ Shutter) into
the Startup Applications window and it will be added to the list of applications that start on login.
Actually, you answered the question yourself. Go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and add a new item with "Shutter" (or something else) as the name and shutter as the command.

I ended up creating bash script, because non of other solutions working for me.
Create file
shut-ter-auto-launch
with contents:Allow to execute it:
Untick "Launch at login" option at Shutter preferences.
Add
shut-ter-auto-launch
toStartup Applications
.Shutter will launch after any other GUI app is launched.
