"System Setting" / "Startup and Shutdown" / "AutoStart" offers the facility to run a script when KDE starts. One can go through the procedure and select a script and it appears in the list of scripts. However when the window is closed and reopened, the script is no longer in the list. If I manually add the script to ~/.kde/Autostart, the application starts as you would expect but the script is still not listed in "Autostart".
Note this came about because I discovered that kalarm would not autostart.
