Furthermore, the config dialog currently shows a tick box for

Plasma 5 no longer looks in kdelibs3/kdelibs4 config files for autostart
conditionals (X-KDE-autostart-condition). IMHO, this backwards compatibility
issue should be fixed in Plasma 5, but then again, /etc/xdg/autostart is
also used by other desktops that don't support the conditionals at all
(though OnlyShowIn=KDE; could be used).
But what's strange is, the upstream KSensors release did not have that
autostart conditional in the .desktop file to begin with (it was added in a
downstream patch), so I don't see how this option was ever supposed to work.
What I can do is add a check to the code that makes it exit immediately if
the option is disabled, it's not optimal because it wastes CPU resources,
but at least it will not bring up the app when not wanted.
