Autostart methods

[Pablo Llopis Sanmillán]

Hi,
	I would like to know what different methods are available for running a 
program when kde starts.I have kde2 running and whenever I start it, the text 
editor Kate is run. I have already removed any files in ~/.kde2/Autostart , 
but it still runs when I start kde.
I have unchecked the option "open at startup", but it also doesnt help.
Maybe another startup methods exist, if anybody has an idea it would be great!
thx.
