I put the above lines exactly in the same file as you mention in your
email except I change it to xload. However, everytime I log in to my
account, xload does not start let alone be swallowed into kpanel. 
Can you tell me what should I do to make xload starts everytime I log in
to my account and xload is swalled into kpanel. 
Thanks in advance for your help!

Regards
Anthony
