I don't know what this bit is all about, but it's obviously some strangely 
borked setting in either gmail or chrome...

See kcontrol, personal, about me, paths, autostart path.

It's interesting that the autostart path is configurable there, but the 
dir for things to run at kde shutdown isn't.  I wonder why...

You can also use the kcontrol autostart module to setup autostart items.  
That's under advanced user settings.  But I think all it does is create 
the *.desktop file, script or symlink in the autostart dir for you.

I knew it wouldn't survive an X shutdown/restart, but I didn't know 
whether it'd survive a logout to a *DM X based login screen.  I take the 
above to mean it doesn't?
