Autostart Manager
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
A KControl tool for managing what programs start up with KDE. (~/.kde/Autostart and ~/.kde/env), run when KDE shuts down (~/.kde/shutdown)
Known Limitations and bugs:
when launching apart for kcontrol:
clicking "Cancel" with a properties dialog open will generate a crash.
when launching inside kcontrol:
option "Reset" does not work
clicking "Reset" with a properties dialog open inserts a duplicate entry into the list of the entry which has the properties open.

Unfortunately, this autostart is unusable with KDE 3.5.10. I have this compilation error : http://pastebin.com/f4bab7c8a
Developers can do something ?
Thanks in advance !

I.e., say I am debugging some problem, and temporarily want to turn of some apps from autostarting, I select Disabled (rather than Startup/Shutdown/ENV) to allow me to test without having to permanently remove my autostart entry (and having to remember/re-create them again).
I think this would be useful, if easy enough to do.
Thoughts?

So, this could be a place to start looking for a "disable" feature by setting the condition in the rc file to false.
autostart would need to be modified to read/write out an rc file with the entry, add the disable option to the list, etc. Should be simple enough.
If I can make this work, I'll submit a patch for your perusal.

Perhaps it will become a part of KDE in the main trunk someday.
I have added the package to the xeffects overlay for Gentoo users. Further details at http://www.gentoo-xeffects.org.
Thanks.

And they mention your app here (in the same thread):

I'll have to look into porting this and perhaps talk about getting it in kdeadmin. From the way things look at work currently I may have a lot more free time than normal.
At the moment I can't promise anything tho.

But I've fixed it and renamed the directory also to its normal autostart-version layout.
Sorry it took me so long to fix this.

What are you ./configure args?
Does this have any affect?
./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`
