Can you describe what you did, what you expected and what actually happened?

For the autostart part: Open konqueror, go to ~/.trinity/Autostart, create a new shortcut to a program, on the 3rd tab select the programs binary. Save the shortcut. Recheck the correctness of the programs location (sometimes the path gets mixed when creating the icon): RMB on the shortcut item, 3rd tab, 3rd line, if it contains a wrong path information correct it and save it.

For the "system tray" part: Do you mean the systray part or the application launcher part? There's a systay with these little icons (tdepowermanager, kmixer ...). If your application supports systray icons, its icon will appear there. If no, it won't :-)
If it's the "application launcher": Unlock with "RMB/Unlock ...", then drag an icon (e.g. the one you've already created on the desktop) to the desired location. You may want to lock it again ...
