mARTin-B78 36b00935c7 autostart: launch the currently-running copy (source vs installed)
_exec_command now detects whether Blitztext is running from a source checkout
(not /opt or site-packages) and, if so, writes an autostart entry that launches
that exact source with PYTHONPATH — so the "Launch on login" toggle no longer
reverts to a stale installed .deb when developing from source.
