KDE SESSION AUTOSTART
=====================
KDE session startup occurs in the following sequence:
Window manager startup
Autostart phase 1
Session restoration
Autostart phase 2
Applications may be scheduled to be automatically run at KDE session startup
in either autostart phase 1 or phase 2. Autostart phase 1 is the original
autostart phase; phase 2 was introduced in KDE 3. To run in either phase, an
application's .desktop file must be located in a KDE autostart directory such
as $TDEDIR/share/autostart or $TDEHOME/share/autostart. The .desktop file can
contain the following optional entries to control its autostart:
X-TDE-autostart-condition = rcfile:group:entry:default
rcfile = name of a config file (including path if necessary)
group = name of a group within the config file
entry = name of a boolean entry within the group
default = true or false
Starts the application only if the specified boolean entry in the
specified config file has the value 'true'. If the specified entry is
missing from the config file, the application will only be started if
'default' is 'true'.
If the entry is not within a group, the group entry can be left empty.
X-TDE-autostart-after = desktop_name
desktop_name = the name of another .desktop file excluding path and
the .desktop suffix. E.g. panel.desktop would appear
as 'X-TDE-autostart-after=panel'
Waits until the .desktop file specified by 'desktop_name' has been
autostarted. The entry is ignored if the specified application is not
scheduled in the same autostart phase as this .desktop file.
X-TDE-autostart-phase = phase
phase = 1 or 2
Starts the application in the autostart phase specified by 'phase'.
If this entry is missing or 'phase' < 1, 'phase' defaults to 1. If
'phase' > 2 the application will not be autostarted since the specified
autostart phase will never be reached.
Hidden = true
Disables autostarting the application.
TDEUniqueApplication and session restoration
------------------------------------------
If TDEUniqueApplication applications are autostarted before they are restored
from the previous session, they will never see the session restoration command.
So if you need to autostart a TDEUniqueApplication which may also be restored
in session restoration, you should schedule it for autostart in phase 2.
