Yes, see the attached message.

Let's hope so. At the moment I can only tell you how to do it in KDE. If you 
run as normal user you can do so by using
	$(kde-config --userpath desktop)
resp.
	$(kde-config --userpath autostart)

If you run as root and want to install for all users on the system you can 
use:
	$(kde-config --expandvars --install data)/kdesktop/Desktop
resp.
	$(kde-config --expandvars --install data)/../autostart

Cheers,
Waldo
