Fair enough, thats cool.

Yep, heaps of em. For example kpowersave (power related daemon), touchfreeze
(touchpad thingy) and kmix (the sound mixer app, but it has a kde specific
configuration item to have it started in the tray, by default it opens in
foreground).

With some extra hacking, possibly a ~/.wpa_cli.conf could determine default
mode, but thats too much work and I can't think of anything yet that would also
warrant storing a users preferences for wpa_cli in a file, its a pretty simple
app after all.

Yeah, however desktop session management usually just calls the app
without the extra cli parameters (at least KDE3 does) at start of saved
session. That's their limitation I guess.

Thanks, Kel.
