It was created on my logins automatically. It's located at
$HOME/.kde/Autostart. Inside of mine is a file called Autorun.desktop
and its contents are:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Autorun
Exec=/bin/bash -c "(ps -u $USER -ocomm=|grep autorun ) || if test -f
/var/lock/c onsole/\"$USER\" -a -x /usr/bin/autorun; then
/usr/bin/autorun -l --interval=100 0 --cdplayer=/usr/bin/kscd & fi"
Icon=cdrom_unmount.png
Type=Application

I would guess you could create it by hand. I didn't, so I don't know if
it would work right or not. As I said, I don't use KDE at all, so I
can't tell you everything about it. I have it installed to use some apps
(same with gnome) and don't use it except to test upgrades and make a
few small settings and use some of the apps.
