Either that, or kcm_autostart can generate a .desktop file (in the XDG autostart directory) that calls the script, no?
Not sure how the GUI is supposed to work, whether the user expects that a copy of the script is made
or that the .desktop file in the autostart directory calls the script at its current location... I guess I would
expect the second solution, if the input is indeed a file on disk (making a copy would suck; duplication of information).

Yes, those are special.
