.kde4/Autostart doesn't work

[David]

Thank you a lot! So autostart procedures have changed from KDE3 and I did
not know :-)

I moved the shell script from autostart to env and it worked. I see that I
can have more than one shell script in env, can't I?

Please Cc to me if replying.

Thank you very much for this detailed reply.
