I ran into this (10 year old!) bug as well.  I've got three autostart
desktop files in my autostart folder (/home/craig/.config/autostart)
removing them allows gnome-tweaks to start as a workaround.

I get the following Python traceback if someone wants to take the time
to troubleshoot:



  File "/usr/bin/gnome-tweaks", line 100, in <module>
    from gtweak.app import GnomeTweaks
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gtweak/app.py", line 13, in
<module>
    from gtweak.tweakview import Window
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gtweak/tweakview.py", line 20,
in <module>
    from gtweak.tweaks.tweak_group_startup import TWEAK_GROUP as
StartupApplicationTweaks
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-
packages/gtweak/tweaks/tweak_group_startup.py", line 348, in <module>
    TWEAK_GROUP = AutostartTweakGroup()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-
packages/gtweak/tweaks/tweak_group_startup.py", line 243, in __init__
    self._startup_dapps = self._get_startup_desktop_files()
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^

           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gtweak/utils.py", line 156, in

    self._desktop_file = appinfo.get_filename(appinfo)
