 Actually we support 3 phases Really Soon(TM). As soon as my startup patches 
are in SVN. Phase 0 for kdesktop+kicker (->no need for autostart-after= as 
that seems to be used for these two only, and moreover it doesn't right now 
really work anyway), phase 1 for parts of the desktop and phase 2 for 
everything else than can wait (you don't really need all that systray 
nonsense immediately).

 Phase 2 is going to be the default so I guess this one is not really a 
problem.
