Hmm, I guess that's a good reason.
OTOH it means any file named differently in that dir will be simply ignored,
which is a source of possible trouble...

I think startup gets confusing - we already have the user's Autostart directory
and the KDE-global $KDEDIRS/share/autostart....
I wanted to call it setup because it's ONLY for setting up some env. vars, not 
for starting programs in general (other than agents).
