Yeah, startkde script lacks XDG handling. After second thought that partially seems to be intentional - at least with /usr/share/autostart - it contains kde4 specific .desktop files (like plasma, krunner, nepomukservices) and you certainly wouldn't want the to be started in KDE3 session (hopefully /usr/share/autostart is kde4 (-kdeprefix) specific location so your kde3 should not even try to touch it. But speaking of XDG location (/etc/xdg) - it seems to be safe to add /etc/xdg/autostart and /etc/xdg/shutdown sypport. Anyway - for KDE3 you still have private KDE3 startup/shutdown locations in /usr/kde/3.5/env/ and /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown respectively XDG location is /usr/kde/3.5/etc/xdg is not used so far for startup/shutdown (should be?) After deeper digging - I guess /usr/share/autostart worked for you as it used to be accessible thanks to KDEDIRS=/usr and later entries in kdeglobals. We can no longer provide any of the above because of known issues with KDE4 installed in /usr. /etc/xdg/autostart handling should be fixed with next update. Unfortunately KDE3 (as of 3.5.10) doesn't seem to support XDG autostart locations... so unfortunately I suggest WONTFIX/UPSTREAM.
