It's mostly for conceptual reasons though that I rather see the control
over whether to autostart something handled elsewhere. With the menu
system we have the .desktop files which are a static representation of
application properties, and then we have the menu layout itself which
reflects policy. The two are, for this very reason, split between
XDG_DATA_DIRS (static data) and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (policy). Whether to
autostart something belongs under XDG_CONFIG_DIRS.
This doesn't really ring true. There's plenty of "policy" information in the .desktop files already, such as the "NoDisplay" and "Hidden" properties.
