I have installed Redshift
on my computer and it works fine with the command gtk-redshift
.
However, it would not start up automatically when using the same command in startup applications.
How do I set it to automatically start?

There is a known bug #868904 that stops Redshift starting automatically in 11.10 due to geoclue conflicts on startup.
See Comment #17 on the bug report for a possible solution of setting the location permanently on start up.
1) Use http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html or any other service to find
your latitude/longitude
2) Adjust the startup command of redshift to:
gtk-redshift -l <latitude>:<longitude>
Example of latitude/longitude of Amsterdam for redshift: gtk-redshift -l 52.37:4.9
It is reportedly fixed in the package 1.7-1ubuntu2 but the Launchpad homepage for the project lists only 1.7-0ubuntu1 built 35 weeks ago.
You could try downloading direct from their website to see if it fixes the issue with a later version.
