Hi,

I need some help with the behaviour of KDE startup and logout sounds. Both \
have problems on many systems:

1) You do not hear the start of the startup sound.
This is due to the fact, that "kmixctrl --restore" resides in the autostart \
folder and can actually run too late. Obviously it runs after artsd, which \
should not be like that. Does anybody can tell me how we could fix this? I \
have absolutely no clue who actually starts artsd. My guess is that kcminit \
starts artsd, and ksmserver starts the autostart stuff after that. The \
trivial fix is to put "kmixctrl --restore" directly in the "startkde" \
script, but that is wrong, because there is a condition \
"X-KDE-autostart-condition=kmixrc::startkdeRestore:true". Surely this could \
also be tested in "startkde" via the kreadconfig command, but is this a \
good idea?

2) You do not hear the end of the logout sound. KDE terminates without \
waiting for the sound to finish playing. I have no idea how to fix that.

Does anybody 
Chris
