Mattermost desktop app creates .desktop file to launch Electron instead of Mattermost

[sparr]

• The target platform(s) the problem occurs on (Linux, Mac, Mac App Store, and or Windows): EndeavourOS (Arch Linux)
• Node version (run node -v): v21.7.3
• auto-launch version: 5.0.6
• The options you're passing to auto-launch: { name: electron.app.name, isHidden: true }
• Are you using NW.js or Electron? Electron
  • If so, which version? 31.2.1
  • If you're using Electron, are you using auto-launch from the main process or a renderer process? I'm not sure
• Can you reproduce this with a simple Hello World example app? Not yet
• If needs be, would you be able to provide us with a simple app (as simple as possible) which reproduces the problem? I can try.

I am running Mattermost Desktop. When I enable "Start app on login", it asks auto-launch to make that happen. The result is the creation of ~/.config/autostart/electron.desktop with the following contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Version=1.0
Name=electron
Comment=electronstartup script
Exec=/usr/lib/electron31/electron --hidden
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false

I suspect that Mattermost is not initializing some configuration that auto-launch depends on to do the Electron-specific guesswork necessary here, but I can't figure out what.
