Do you have a .desktop file under share/autostart (either under $KDEHOME or under $KDEDIR)?

See if yo find it here:


dolphin /usr/share/autostart

I think that this method is correct


subhi@subhi-pc:~$ ls /usr/share/autostart
akonaditray.desktop konqy_preload.desktop polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1.desktop
kaddressbookmigrator.desktop korgac.desktop printer-applet.desktop
kalarm.autostart.desktop krunner.desktop restore_kmix_volumes.desktop
kgpg.desktop nepomukcontroller.desktop synaptiks_autostart.desktop
klipper.desktop nepomukserver.desktop xsettings-kde.desktop
kmix_autostart.desktop plasma-desktop.desktop

cd /etc/xdg/autostart/
then:

sudo sed --in-place 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' *.desktop
All your start up apps will now appear in "startup applications"

That's good for ubuntu, but in kubuntu, there's not much there.
Most are in
/usr/share/autostart

Sorry, didn't notice.
In Kubuntu, Autostart just has the things you manually added to startup.
The one below it "service manager" has all the other programs that autostart.
