Application in Autostart "not started yet" even though I restarted plenty of times already

Can you post the content of the autostart launcher file here?

I think this could be the same as this bug report: 484207 – Autostart KCM doesn't work with desktop files containing spaces

Try to change the file name of the desktop launcher file in the ~/.config/autostart folder to not have spaces in the file name.
