If you are on KDE >= 3.3 you can have things start really early on in KDE's startup by putting shellscripts into $KDEPREFIX/env/ (or user specific $KDEHOME/env/) directory. All scripts there are sourced by the startkde script even before KDE itself starts, so putting KDE programs there won't be a good idea. Maybe you could give us an example which program you'd like to start or what it is intended to do?
