The script stays in the system settings. Does a relevant desktop file get created in your ~/.config/autostart directory? No idea about the script disappearing from your settings, but I have noticed that if I set the script permissions to 755 (or similar; so long as the owner has the 'x' permission set), then the script works fine upon log in. (I used a simple script that 'echo'ed some text to a file in the home directory.) I didn't not have to mark it as executable in the system settings. But, if I create a script and leave the permissions as 644, then it does not run upon log in. Even if I set it as executable in the system settings, it does not run. Checking the script permissions directly shows them as still 644. (In the light of that I'm not sure what the executable tick-box in the system settings is supposed to do.) Sorry, not really much help.
