Yeah, this is unsupported, blame ATI/AMD as usual ;)

That works for me on my XFCE setup:
15:58 zhenech@shinkupaddo ~ %
cat .config/autostart/ati-powerstate.desktop [Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.9.4
Type=Application
Name=ati-powerstate
Comment=
Exec=/home/zhenech/bin/ati-powerstate
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Hidden=false

15:58 zhenech@shinkupaddo ~ % cat bin/ati-powerstate
/usr/bin/aticonfig --effective=now --set-powerstate=1

Maybe your file gets excuted too early?
