Do you want to drop the support for XDG_DATA_DIRS/autostart from KDE4? I think 
we should, as otherwise we get a very unclear situation where apps are 
started because of /usr/share/autostart but are not disabled by an entry in 
~/.config because KDE will look into ~/.kde/share/config/blarc. So I support 
the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS idea, but only if KDE4 will make use only of that.
