Run Script Automaticaly with LinuxMint Cinnamon

I worked out how to automatically run my Wacom tablet setup script in Xubuntu, but in Cinnamon none of those options worked.

Eventually I found the .config/autostart directory and modified an existing .desktop file to start the script. This is what I came up with (I assume the file can be called anything, I just called it xsetwacom.desktop):

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=xsetwacom
Exec=/home/<username>/.xsetwacom.sh
Terminal=false
Icon=terminal
Comment=Set up the Wacom tablet rotation
Categories=Utility;Application;

(Then I found this post that describes how to do it graphically, which might be easier.)
