Rough idle at startup, smooths out after 10 seconds....

When you start the car for the first time after it has been sitting for a while, it fires right up but has an intermittent miss at idle that clears up after a few seconds. It doesnt seem like it misses at any rpms above idle. I initially assumed it was a leaky injector losing prime, but that would still miss at any rpm. MAybe a bad glowplug? My glowplug light does not come on, but the car fires very easily. Ideas?
