Re: autostarting programs on login in KDE

Provided you really want to save your session when you log out. I don't
want to do that, because if the saved session is broken somehow, it is
quite difficult to login again. I don't know if it still can happen, but
I had that problem some years ago.

I don't know about the OP, but it seems to me, he doesn't want to save the
session during logout either, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the
question.

For cases where session management doesn't work it is better to create
an applnk file in the Autostart directory: Rt click -> create new ->
application and then fill in the necessary details in the wizard that
appears; rather than a link to the binary.

That's interesting. What is the downside of a symbolic to the binary? It
always worked for me.
