Yes. But it may have a "-<pid>" postfix.

Looking at the klauncher code I see that we already wait for the service to 
start before starting the next one.

In KLauncher::requestDone(..)

   if (request->autoStart)
   {
      mAutoTimer.start(0, true);
   }

That's no surprise actually, the whole idea of having a specific order of 
services does not make sense if you don't wait for the service to start up.

You may want to change the above line to 
   mAutoTimer.start(200, true);
and see if that reduces disk trashing.

Cheers,
Waldo
