Sounds like you need to use the Session Manager.  Configure > KDE 
Components > Session Manager.  Select the option you need under "On 
Login".  I use the manually saved session myself.  I get everything 
where I want it and then save the session, it's under the little start 
thingy, then it will start up the same way every time I login.

Hope that helps.
