Bug Description

On a fresh install of Kubuntu 17.04, if I add a shell script in autostart, that happens to be hidden, like .lcd.sh (which I use to use dispwin to load my icc profiles easily for my monitor), they don't appear when you leave and re-open autostart.

On other desktop envrionments, despite the shell script being hidden, they aren't hidden from the autostart lists.. On KDE, it seems the GUI is honoring the . before the name, including in the GUI's list. This poses a functional problem because you can't see what is truly starting up with the system, if anything else happens to be added that has a . before the name.

Certainly wasn't because of me, just lazy developers who would rather ignore a bug report and hope it goes away.
