I find I have to manually start kdeinit4 *every* time I wish to start  
using KDE4 applications (after a reboot/login). Maybe I am mistaken  
but won't the above only start kdeinit4 for the current session ?

What I think we need is someway for kdeinit4 to be started  
automatically, as and when it is needed, when a user first starts  
using the KDE4 apps. Is there anyway to achieve this ?
