Just copy (delete) the application's .desktop file to (from) ~/.config/autostart/

The .desktop files are usually located at /usr/share/applications, but you can create a custom one if you want.

For more info, check out:

and

Example:
~/.config/autostart/oneko.desktop

[Desktop Entry]

Type=Application

Exec=oneko

Hidden=false

NoDisplay=false

X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
