Plasma Tablet at login?

Hi,

I've been trying to get our nice little Plasma Tablet integrated into the 
login process, so that we can create a live iso and have that automatically 
booted into the Plasma Tablet Shell.

I've been able to get that far, but only with a gross hack, starting plasma-
desktop first, then killing it and starting plasma-mobile. (Yes, a week old 
;-)

I've looked at how we did this with Plasma Netbook, and that seems to just 
start the plasma-netbook binary instead of plasma-desktop. I've tried that, 
but it didn't work since at login, plasma-desktop seems to start some stuff 
that's also needed for plasma-mobile, but plasma-mobile won't start this 
itself. There's for example no usable dbus around, and adding dbus-launch to 
the command to start plasma-mobile didn't fix this for me.

Anyway, question: How are we going to tackle starting different shells on 
login in an elegant way?

Cheers,
