Hi, Nate.

This war then a very stupid decision in KDE development, changing such
mechanisms, as this breaks many(!) 3rd party applications.

Skype for Linux .... 
Uses a shell script to start up.   When selecting  "[Menu] -> Internet ->
Skype" in KDE Settings -> Start -> Autostart, exactly this script is called.  
This works in KDE when I manually click that menu entry,  but it does not from
Autostart ????    A very poor decision to change KDE to not support this any
more.  I would recommend to add something in Autostart config, allowing to
re-enable previous behavior.

Here the original startup script /usr/bin/skypeforlinux ......
#!/bin/sh
SCRIPT=$(readlink -f "$0")
USR_DIRECTORY=$(readlink -f $(dirname $SCRIPT)/..)
SKYPE_PATH="$USR_DIRECTORY/share/skypeforlinux/skypeforlinux"
SKYPE_LOGS="$HOME/.config/skypeforlinux/logs"
mkdir -p $SKYPE_LOGS
nohup "$SKYPE_PATH" --executed-from="$(pwd)" --pid=$$ "$@" >
"$SKYPE_LOGS/skype-startup.log" 2>&1 &

WATCH LAST LINE !   All programs started with trailing '&'  abort when the
script ends.



Same with other programs!
