I have a nice xterm setup in KDE and I want it to start automatically every time KDE starts. I understand this is something to do with the startkde script... What do I need to add. The app is xterm and its launched from "quick launch" on the taskbar. In the command to open it I have specified some flags to specify colours et cetera. I will need it to startup with this specification.
Thanks.

you can do several things:
one, specify the changes in ~/.Xdefaults and run "xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults". Here's a bit from my .Xdefaults
aterm*background: black
aterm*foreground: white
aterm*scrollBar: true
aterm*loginShell: true
aterm*transparent: true
aterm*tintingType: true
aterm*shading: 90
aterm*font: -xos4-*-medium-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-*
aterm*geometry: 90x30
aterm*cursorColor: yellow
aterm*saveLines: 500
xterm*background: black
xterm*foreground: white
xterm*geometry: 95x25
xterm*jumpScroll: true
xterm*multiScroll: true
xterm*font: -schumacher-clean-medium-r-normal--15-150-75-75-c-90-iso646.1991-irv
Or, you can set it up as an alias in ~/.bashrc like:
alias ls="ls --color=auto"
Except yours would be something like "alias xterm="xterm -option1 blah -option2 blah"
Then have a look in ~/.kde/Autostart. Put something in there like xterm.sh with !#/bin/bash
xterm &
make it executable and that should be it.
