 This should work:
 
 cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local EOF
 for i in /home/*/.rc.local ; do
   user=${i#/home/}
   user=${user%/.rc.local}
   su $user -c $i
 done
 EOF

This should work as long as all the prerequisite services have been
started, such as mounting the file system.  One other requirement
is all users accounts are in /home.

 Its hard to listen to a bunch of complaining when there isn't
 anything constructive included. I want KDE 3.5 back is not what i
 would consider constructive.
 

When features are in KDE3.5 work better than the newer version, I'll ask
for the older version back anytime.  You want specific examples:

1) The background on the virtual screen do not spread across all
physical screens. (Yes a bug was submitted.)

2) Not able to hide the panel, at least I haven't found a method.

There is more, but this is enough to make another choice.  KDE
4.0 is not an improvement, when functionality is lost from the previous
revision and its not documented. (If I did miss it, please provide a
pointer to it.)  

I also think a complete previous revision should be supplied until the
next revision is functionally equivalent.  This will give USER the
choice of which version to use without being forced to use a choice
that he doesn't prefer.  Since the choice of KDE 3.5 is not completely
available, I'm being forced into is switching to gnome and using kpager
from the kde trunk sources.

 And there are a multitude of specific examples where kde4 is better.
 This is certainly not constructive feedback.  Sigh, if you like kde3,
 fine, stick with Fedora 8.

It's about choice, NOT what is better about KDE4 its more about what
is MISSING! If you can't understand that some users work in a specific
way or need to work in a specific way then. 

There could be other reason why I want or might even need Fedora 9, but
that is my choice. I would like a choice at least better KDE3.5 and KDE
4.x until 4.x has all the features of 3.5.

 Please read the FAQ again.  I would *love* to be able to provide just
 that, and asked developers point-blank if this is something
 possible(1) or supported.  Answer was no.
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/KDE4FAQ
 
 (1) without horrible hacks or FHS violations.

Hmmm The FAQ provide some information, but not exactly what I was
asking.  What I really read was, that there was not enough resources
to provide both KDE3.5 and KDE4.0 with ONLY one installed at a time.
I didn't ask to have both kde4  kde3 installed at the same time.  Yes,
there will always be ways to shoot yourself in the foot.

I'll consider this dead since there was a conscious decision to force
this issue.  I'll look at other distros or methods or means to obtain
the features I need. so long...

 Okay, the magic Fedora KDE slave elves will get on that for you right
 away master.
 

I'll only bow down to your level enough to say that I hope at some
point in the future that someone forces you down the same road
