Hello Phil,

You need to have a .desktop file in the Autostart directory describing 
whatever you want to run. Have a look at the existing global ones in 
$KDEDIR/share/autostart (note the little 'a' at the beginning of this 
'autostart')

If a non .desktop file is found then I think it just gets loaded according to 
whatever application is defined for it in File Associations. Your scripts are 
probably recognised as being something like x-shellscript, files of which 
type are, by default, opened by KWrite or Kate.

Cheers,
Sean
