muting the blessed startup sound - it's one of the first things i did... here's how -
this will depend on which version of kde you're using - i'm using 3.2, which from memory is slightly different to 3.1..
open up kde control center
go to 'sound & multimedia'
click on system notifications
a list of events should appear - i just elect to turn off sounds for all applications.
silence - bliss...
