The "session manager" is, I believe, only actually handling the _KDE_
session - I don't think even Firefox is handled by the session manager
(though it has session management, it seems different - so I believe it
handles it itself).

I'm not sure why KDE moved (I think in the migration from 2.x to 3.0) the
Autostart folder off the desktop (or perhaps it never was standard in KDE
but that's where it was when I started in Corel Linux), but that's what you
need, as Karl said.
