 Gee. Please have a look at KDE_FULL_SESSION in startkde. Any good idea where 
to put that information so that people don't always try to go to great 
lengths to do it in a complicated and partially broken way when it's just 
trivial (as long as one doesn't care about pretty old KDE versions)? This is 
getting really boring.
