On 22.04:

1. Install ASHPD Demo
https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.belmoussaoui.ashpd.demo from
Flathub

2. Within the app make a background portal request with auto start
enabled (you must accept the prompt from GNOME Shell)

3. Note the contents of
~/.config/autostart/com.belmoussaoui.ashpd.demo.desktop is a desktop
file, however the exec key’s value has an app id with quotes, making it
invalid.

4. After logging out and in or restarting, the app will not already be
running, even though it previously asked the portal API for it to be
auto started.

The same steps can be repeated with EasyEffects from Flathub instead of
ASHPD Demo, note the EasyEffects switch is named "Start Service at
Login" within EasyEffects' preferences menu.

When the bug is fixed, the created desktop file for auto start is valid
and the app will start after login.

Title:
  Broken background portal autostart in 1.14.3

Status in xdg-desktop-portal package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  With 1.14.3 the background portal creates a broken autostart file (it
  sends an incorrectly quoted app ID to implementations). This means
  apps like EasyEffects or Pika Backup cannot rely on the background
  portal to create a working autostart file. Please update to xdg-
  desktop-portal 1.14.4 https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-
  portal/releases/tag/1.14.4 which fixes this issue.
