What i did was create a file in the kde/Autostart folder and named startprograms.sh and make it executable whit this inside:

-----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash                                          
sleep 2 && beryl-manager;                    <====2 seconds
sleep 4 && /usr/bin/net_applet --force;    <====4 seconds
sleep 6 && amarok;                               <====6 seconds
sleep 8 && kget;                                   <====8 seconds
sleep 10 && smb4k;                              <===10 seconds
-----------------------------------------------------------
and it will start my applications # of seconds after kde is runing.

Go to ~/.kde/Autostart (you can type that into the address bar of konqueror).

Inside that folder, press the right mouse button over empty space and
select "Create New" / "Link to application...". Go to the "Application" tab
and press the "Browse..." button next to "Command" and find your program.
You can additionally fill out the other fields.

Cheers,
Patrick.

Everything you can do with that other OS you can do in PCLinuxOS without worrying about virus infections, adware or spyware.
