You may already have a .xinitrc file in your home directory, which is a shell script that can execute any kind of command; the only requirement is that the last command keeps running until you log out. On a Plasma4 desktop that is the `startkde` command which bootstraps the KDE desktop. I use this script myself to ensure that the X11 resource database (xrdb) is set up exactly the way I want.

There is a .xinitrc.template. I copied it to .xinitrc and commented out for testing

 if test -S "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" -a -x "$SSH_ASKPASS"; then
       ssh-add < /dev/null
 fi

but nothing happens when I log in. I don't know if this . xinitrc is ever executed.

Can I put a command like this into the .xinitrc?

cp /home/andreas/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc.sav /home/andreas/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
