Quicksynergy autostart Ubuntu

Starting quicksynergy in Ubuntu is actually really easy. If you do a "ps aux" after you have quicksynergy configured and running you will see something like

/usr/bin/synergys -f --config .quicksynergy/synergy.conf

All you need to do is add this to your "Startup Applications"
System Settings -> Startup Applications -> Add
Name: Synergy
Command: /usr/bin/synergys -f --config .quicksynergy/synergy.conf
Add->Close->Log out and log back in.

Done!
