Please check this directory. As far as I remember, it has all the startup scripts there.

Code:

/etc/rc.d/

I you wish to disable any service from startup, the best way would be to remove its executable flag

Code:

chmod 644 /etc/rc.d/rc.servicename

Hope that helps.

Make a script which launches your program with the options you want, and put it in $HOME/.kde/Autostart

Don't forget to set the execute permission on these programs.

Note that KDE can remember which programs were running the last time you shut it down, and re-launch them. The options for this are in the session management section of the kcontrol (control center) program.

Good luck!
