Process is the same here other than the startup manager being called "session and startup" on LL.

Hello Duckeenie,
Thanks for the tip but it did not work for me.
However, after some searchs, I know now how to deal with it.
The solution is the following : go to "Startup and session", then to "Application Autostart" and click on "+add".
At "Name", enter "Plank", at "Description", enter Dock, at "Command", enter : /usr/bin/plank, then save and it should work.
Cheers,
tifoli
