OK, I figured it out.  Sort of.  By creating and logging on to a new 
user, the line appears.  The difference is that in my normal user login, 
I had a pretty much duplicative set of autostart commands in 
~/.config/autostart and /etc/xdg/autostart.  Deleting all but my unique 
.desktop files in ~/.config/autostart and re-logging in showed the 
missing line.  How about them apples?!

BTW, thx for the responses.
