Well, we agreed with David Faure that it is not a good idea to have 
there an exception, as that is a user writable folder and the malicious 
website might say "save me in the autostart folder". ;)  And I don't see 
a need to make it an exemption, rather the systemsettings module should 
make it executable when copies the .desktop file in the autostart folder.
