            Bug ID: 343230
           Summary: kde autostart experience should be improved
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: devel.suse at gmail.com

In any KDE 4 version there is one thing presented: sometimes you can faced the
situation. when the, let's say, text file "file.txt" with content "abc" somehow
became present in the ~/.kde4/Autostart/ directory and then when you try to
login with the KDM into a KDE session - none of autostart apps can't loaded due
to this "file.txt" and even more it can give weird results like infinite
Konqueror instances loading, Kate trying to open this file with no luck and so
on and all this just due one file and no warnings on the screen to help...


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create the file in the ~/.kde4/Autostart/ directory
2. have some other apps also there for "better" result
3. login into KDE session

Actual Results:  
Bad non-informative autostart experience with weird behavior.

Expected Results:  
This behavior should be improved and more user-friendly so the _new_ user can
see (maybe info window with a message) that a wrong file cause the autostart
issue or even more - enhance it in some way, so KDE is not breaking for user
due to one illegal file.
