Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't ya just put the script in the ~/.kde/Autostart folder?

Re: [newbie] How to run script on KDE start?
BTW: If you are using the OSS sound drivers you might find your sounds from your script do not play. This is because the OSS drivers can only allow 1 application at a time to use the sound system, and the KDE 'arts' sound system will be using the sound card to play the start up sound. If you get this problem. Using the alsa drivers ought to fix it.

You will then have a desktop link to your script. Then drag and drop the desktop link into ~/.kde/Autostart The script will then run after KDE starts.
