Hi,

there is a option "autostart" in the systemsettings.

On german desktop its in "Systemverwaltung" -> "Starten und Beenden". Don't know what this is on the english desktop.
Something like "system administration" -> "start and stop" or so.

There you can add programs which should start when KDE is up.

Yes, "Autostart" is a directory under .kde in your home folder.  Put the full path command to launch kcalc in there, and it will start automatically at the end of booting.

Or, if you "unlock" widgets, and navigate to kcalc in your KDE menu, you can right-click it and "Add to Panel".  That will park an icon on the panel and you can launch it after booting.  Don't forget to "lock widgets" afterward.

You could change the default behaviour of siduction to save the session on logout and restore it on login instead of always starting with a clean session (systemsettings, session management or something like that). When you logout while kcalc is active it is automatically started on your next login.

I used this a while with KDE3, but sometimes, when an application crashed and was leading to a crash of KDE, I wasn't able to restart KDE, had to manually delete KDE configuration first. After this I allways startet with a clean session.

Don't know whether this may happen with KDE4 also, never tried it.

In KDE3 I always used a saved session. This is an option in KDE 4 too, but I have decided to try the autosave feature since KDE 4.4 - and no problems so far.
