autostart in KDE is flipping ?? Need advice from specialists

Hi,

I have some stuff loading when KDE 4.2 starts. Everything loads correctly but one item, that is cairo-dock, is also autoloading when KDE 4.2 starts.

I checked the KDE Autostart option in the Configure Destop tool and cairo-dock shows up one time in the list and is checked and enabled.

But when I start KDE it loads most of the time twice, sometimes it can load up to four processes, making me have 4 docks over each other on the desktop.

In gnome I don’t have this issue ?

How do I deal with that ? Making it load only once ?

Thanks.

Maybe an extra note, I saw that the autostart is done from the .config folder inside the homedir. Same for Gnome.
When I disable cairo-dock autostart in KDE it still loads in KDE but only once, which is correct, but then it no longer loads when I start Gnome.
When I activate cairo dock in either KDE Autostart or Gnome Startup Application it loads once and fine in Gnome but at least two times in KDE.

What about

Do you have “Restore previous session” set ?

No, I configured KDE not to save the session but let me save the session manually whenever I want.
But I never saved the session after cairo-dock was launched.

I activated the autostart in gnome and it was automatically started in KDE as well when I did.
But in Gnome it only starts once, in KDE always twice.

If I add it to the KDE Autostart myself, then it starts twice in KDE as well and still only once in Gnome.

If I remove it completely from KDE Autostart then it no longer starts in Gnome but still starts in KDE, but only once.

If I add it again, the same issue comes back.

So my guess is that it is started from two different locations, but I can’t find from where. I checked all known autostart locations but they are all empty and the once that are filled don’t contain cairo-dock as startup item.

So you see, or I don’t start it automatically or I have to close one process manually each time I log in to KDE :’(
