Hrm, if you wanted to fix it, you'd basically either install the missing schemas
file, or make sure that gconf_startupdir defaults to ".config/autostart" if the
get_slab_gconf_string returns NULL.

If you're really interested, check out
gnome-control-center/libslab/application-tile.c:706 remove_from_startup_list()
and gnome-main-menu/main-menu/etc/slab.schemas.in.in

Of course now I have no idea if you're just doing this for a bet or what, but I
somehow feel like I'm wasting my time.
