I'm not experienced enough with csh to know what to do about that...

I disagree. At least kdesktop filters already for the Autostart folder.
Plus all the distro's scripts look for *.sh as you said, so they do filter :)

Now I'm not sure what "the same" means for you and for me :)
Filtering out foo~ and foo.bak, or looking for *.sh only? The former, right?

All done in the new version of the patch (including "env" instead of "setup",
mentionning ssh-agent -k etc.).
