How to call a script during KDE start process?

Hi! I'm writing a script to change the ksplash theme depending on the curent daytime and other settings so you can select different themes for day and night for example.

The basic idea is just to change the /home/$USER/.kde/share/config/ksplashrc file before ksplash starts.

Now I need to know where to put the script and whats the best method to call it (from where) during the KDE start process? Is there an official way to such things?

Thank you!

I think you should modify $KDEDIR/bin/startkde.
