The problem we are trying to solve is that a default KDE desktop with kicker, 
kdesktop and klipper in autostart doesn't start up as fast as it could.

This has little to do with non-KDE apps. 

If users adds plenty of applications to autostart, they will understand that 
startup takes a bit longer. The same happens when a session gets restored, 
for safety everything except the window manager gets started at the same 
time.
