When Gnome disables an autostart entry, it adds the flag "X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false". Kde does not understand this flag.

When Kde disables an autostart entry, it adds the flag "Hidden=true". The problem is that Gnome uses this flag to mark autostart entries deleted. From gnome-sessions source:

/* Two possible cases:
* a) We want to remove a system wide startup desktop file.
* We can't do that, so we will create a user desktop file
* with the hidden flag set.
* b) We want to remove a startup desktop file that is both
* system and user. So we have to mark it as hidden.

I think Gnome and Kde hackers need to reach agreement here.
