ICA process started multiple time in KDE

Bug #238839 reported by Francis Giraldeau on 2008-06-10

Bug Description

KDE is configured by default to restore applications from previous session. The problem is that ICA is started on login, KDE add it to autostart, and on the next login, ICA is started the usual way and by KDE. Other instances fail to start, because one instance is already started. Each subsequent login causes one more error message box to appears.

To prevent this behavior, use kcontrol : KDE Components -> Session Manager -> On login : start with empty session.

Since we don't have control on this parameter, ICA should start only once, no mater the configuration of KDE.

I'm not familiar with the way KDE handles session saving but I don't
really understand why it'd add ica to the list of applications to
restore on login when it's initially been started from a xdg autostart
script.

Do you have any idea of how we could fix that and why something that's
started by xdg ends up in that ksmserverrc file ?
