I have a problem. I start some programs by putting them in the
autostart folder. The problem is, I don't want to have to remember to
shut these programs down when I logout. But if I don't exit the
programs, the wonderful session management feature restarts a copy of
the programs when I log back in, but the items in the Autostart folder
also get started. So I get two copies of everything running.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try playing with session managment settings in Settings->Windows->Advanced

Autostart is for "legacy" applications, that don't support session management.
Just trust session management to present the desktop as it was when you left it.
:-)
IOW: Just start your apps. KDE will restart them. No Autostart necessary.
