Hi,

This would be a better question for the
desktop-discuss at opensolaris.org mailing list, since although there are
Sun Ray experts on this list what you describe seems to be a KDE
behavior, and would need to be fixed in KDE...  Or maybe somebody who
knows KDE could suggest a way to tune or configure KDE to avoid this
behavior.

I can however suggest a better workaround - add the necessary code into
/usr/dt/config/Xsetup (this is invoked whenever a new X server starts
up, and runs with root permissions).  That's not a fix, but it's a
lighter-weight workaround.
