I've found out the hard way: Running the script during startup, and running it using the proper user authorization, are two different things.

And environment

DISPLAY and PATH in particular.

You’re right and I’m dumb. I forgot to absolute-ify one of the paths, which caused the script to be dependent on my user environment, which isn’t loaded by the desktop file.

Knowing that the environment is finicky, I made sure to only use absolute paths to all files and executables.

But thanks for the hint.
