I wanted to have my gmail notifier start up with KDE on my Kubuntu 7.04 installation, so I Googled how to do it. Although the post I found was either incorrect or outdated, it let me down the right path.
To add a startup application, go to your .kde directory, then to the Autostart directory. In here, create a soft link to the application you wish to start.
$ cd
$ cd .kde
$ cd Autostart
$ ln -s /usr/bin/checkgmail checkgmail
Log out and login again and you should see the checkgmail application start.
Additionally, the checkgmail application is a Linux taskbar tool that monitors (unfortunately) one gmail account for new mail. Very much like the one Google makes for Win/Mac users. Highly recommended.
