Bastian Köcher 6bf72482eb make-autostartitem: Use the right path for storing the desktop files
The freedesktop specification says that the autostart folder is located at $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart.
Nixos defines XDG_CONFIG_DIRS as /etc/xdg. So we need to copy the desktop files into the right folder
with make-startupitem.
