Description soredake 2020-10-22 09:20:42 UTC 
SUMMARY
Right now, there is no way to disable autostart from programs from /etc/xdg/autostart in autostart kde settings.

Right now i use this two commands to disable startup of two programs:
sed -e '$aHidden=True' /etc/xdg/autostart/org.kde.discover.notifier.desktop > "$HOME/.config/autostart/org.kde.discover.notifier.desktop"
sed -e '$aHidden=True' /etc/xdg/autostart/gcdemu.desktop > "$HOME/.config/autostart/gcdemu.desktop"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install kubuntu or any distro with kde.
2. Go to autostart settings.
3. No discover or any other program from /etc/xdg/autostart is present.

OBSERVED RESULT
No discover or any other program from /etc/xdg/autostart is present in autostart settings.

EXPECTED RESULT
Having /etc/xdg/autostart programs in autostart gui.

Likely best to split it into two tabs under Autostart

User Startup (current layout)
Global Startup (all users) (from /etc/xdg/autostart)

Makes sense IMO.

I think another kcm  for system autostart is better as the user autostart doesn't need apply buttons or enable/disable buttons but the system autostart does need them
