I seem to have more than one autostart directory, I don't know how many
of them are actually used in current KDE:

~/.config/autostart
~/.kde/Autostart
~/.kde/share/autostart

Failing that, have you got a saved session with Nautilus in, perhaps
auto-saved from a previous shutdown ?  Check ~/.kde/share/config/session/
and remove contents if necessary.

More promisingly there are the desktop-agnostic system locations
/etc/xdg/autostart and /usr/share/autostart .  Specifically
/etc/xdg/autostart/nautilus-autostart.desktop seems to have a test of a
Gnome setting to check whether start is enabled - apparently to do with
Gnome desktop icons - so some digging there may reveal a way of turning
that off.  Good luck :-)
