In KDE Control Centre>Personalisatiob>Session Manager you can select 'manually saved session' It will then load the session details found in /usr/share/autostart The files in here are in the format 'application_name.desktop' If you have a menu item for your firestarter you can just drag and drop from your menu into the autostart folder. Alternatively right click on your desktop, select CreateNew>LinktoApplication fillin all the details in the pop up, and than drag/drop that link into the autostart folder. You can also drop desktop links into the folder ~/.kde/Autostart if you want an application to only open for a specific user. HTH derek
