AutoRun Program in KDE

Hi - I run KDE and I have a console based folding (distributed computing
client) that I would like to run in the background. Right now I load up
Konsole, and then type the name of the program and minimize it.

I want it running in the background - but I don't want any kind of GUI
interference, including a minimized window and I would like it to
automatically begin without me doing anything.

I'm a complete n00b as you can probably tell - so plz be gentle :)

-LTP

KDE has a (usually hidden) Directory named ".kde" in a
users home directory. This contains a directory named
"Autostart". Rings a bell ??
You can create a link to your file there by
right-mouse-click->create File->Type (application).
(Don't know what this may be labeled in English)

You can use cron to automatically run the script or use nohup to
run the program without the need of a console open.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
