autostart can also contain plain old files (which will open with the default 
app on login)

correct; and so share/autostart is sourced from all $KDEDIRS, Autostart is 
local only and can have files, etc.. in it. the risk of putting 
$KDEHOME/autostart and $KDEHOME/share/autostart together is that someone 
might put a file with a name that accidently conflicts with a global entry 
and thereby prevents one or the other application from starting (e.g. the 
panels). however, if we have a control panel for this that might be seen as 
mitigating the danger enough (since it isn't done "by hand" anymore?)

personally i would expect that if there is an entry that is locked down using 
kiosk that it would show up disabled in the list so that i could see i can't 
edit it.
