I am talking about the list in gnome-session-properties, which calls
itself "Startup Applications Preferences". The entry created by adding
it from gnome-session-properties looks like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=mpd
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_GB]=MPD
Name=MPD
Comment[en_GB]=Music Player Daemon
Comment=Music Player Daemon

The only obvious improvements would be to have an icon (but not
necessary) and to have a name in more languages (if MPD is itself
internationalised, that would be a place to start).
