I'd rather we didn't rely on any of that for the spec.

I'd say X-KDE-autostart-condition should be avoided in any new files.

Instead, the app should install a default .desktop file to the autostart 
directory with:
Hidden=true

And when the user did the configuration that enabled it, it should just 
write a new .desktop to the default Autostart directory with:
Hidden=false
