Your suggestion is one possible implementation, but ...

the way it currently works is that the autostart .desktop file includes a 
special key to conditionally start or not.

for example, korganizer's korgac.desktop includes:

X-KDE-autostart-condition=korgacrc:General:Autostart:true

which means it'll only start if ~/.kde/share/config/korgacrc [General] 
section includes a key
Autostart=true
