Actually, the issue is that this is an X issue so it would be best not 
to use the Autostart.

You don't need to write a script.  You should have a script:

	$KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/Xstartup

just add the command at the end of it.

You may still run into the need to set DISPLAY despite the fact that you 
only have one X display open.

If you wish to run a KDE application as root from a Konsole, I would 
still recommend that you use the "kdesu" command.
