How can an absolutely literally correct answer be called "cryptic"?  If you
expect help, you should really try to be less dismissive when you _get_
help.
 
As you were told, it's in ~/.kde/Autostart.  How can you possibly spend two
hours looking for it?

derek at bella:~$ ls ~/.kde/Autostart
derek at bella:~$ ls ~/.kde/Autostart -la
total 12
drwx------ 2 derek derek   32 2008-05-08 10:23 .
drwxrwx--- 6 derek derek 4096 2007-05-02 20:14 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 derek derek 1990 2008-05-06 09:10 .directory

It's possible that the Autostart directory doesn't exist by default.  So
create it.
