I am currently starting direwolf with a .desktop file in .config/autostart. It starts up in a terminal window that just sits behind everything.
As mentioned below, I tried adding an & at the end of the exec line, but it still comes up on the desktop in a terminal window.
Maybe I'll try the rc.local route.

You can fire up direwolf in */etc/rc.local* add the following line, with*&* at the end to run it in the background.
direwolf? ?&
... xor you can embrace the horror of systemd and create a direwolf service,
*/etc/systemd/system/direwolf.service *
