 Three things come up to my mind:

   1. Replace to "add" dialog with something more suitable for average
   users.
   2. Add DnD from Launcher to 'Startup Applications' and add an info text
   like: "press the 'add' button or drag an application from the Launcher to
   the list"
   3. Add all start up applications to the list that run in background and
   are meant to be controlled by an average user, Gwibber for example starts
   on log-in but there is no menu entry in startup applications right now -
   #945761 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwibber/+bug/945761>.
