I actually expect that what you get is normal because as far as I understand it, <k_app> --version as suggested by jucato displays the version of a particular application/software. KDE is made up of a set of applications. "KDE version" only makes sense if all K applications are at the same version level, eg from a default installation of a certain distribution, as in my case when I posted my message years ago. But in your case, your "KDE" is a mixture of different versions, so it's quite natural...
(Off-topic: Wow! I've never expected this old thread in 2006 is still active ) Quoted from "msman" Could you give exact command? Like is it "kicker --version" or "kicker -version"? No matter what i try it gives command not found. Make sure "kicker" exists for you. Just type "kicker" and see what you get.
I'm now using KDE 3.5.6 inside Mandriva 2007 Spring and the problem is still perfectly reproducible. It's become quite serious in addition to annoying.

I think I might have found one of the possible causes of the problem: session saving! I've noticed that the next time I open a session again, I've got two kwrite. However, I still think there's something wrong with ksystraycmd with autostart because sometimes I would just get one kwrite instead of two (one from previous session, and one from autostart). And sometimes no kwrite is in the systray while I expect one kwrite to be there since it's called by autostart in this session and ksystraycmd. ...
Thanks Just a question: are you using Mandriva as well? And your KDE version? Actually, I'm looking for ways to make VMWare more friendly to Linux users. It needs to launch a utility called vmware-toolbox at startup. Without this, copy-n-paste between host system and guest system is impossible.
Yes, I had opened the .desktop file inside kwrite to check it. That's why I'm so sure about this problem. As a matter of fact, the line beginning with exec= contains exactly what I've written, ie: ksystraycmd --hidden kwrite That's why I find it very bothering and disturbing!
I've seen this problem in Mandriva 2006, ie KDE 3.4.2, but then I thought I made some mistakes. I'm now using Mandriva 2007, thus KDE 3.5.4, and I can still see this problem. And now I'm very sure it's a problem within KDE. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Create an application link (.desktop file) in Autostart. 2. Use the command "ksystraycmd --hidden kwrite" (without quotes, of course) to start kwrite. You could use any other program of your choice other than kwrite. 3. (Optional) Double-cli...
I'm now using Mandriva 2007, thus KDE 3.5.4, and I can still see this problem. I've done some tests, and it's clear that the problem has nothing to do with Autostart. Thus the change of the post subject. It's only related to "application link file", ie .desktop files. And the problem only occurs when the called software is ksystraycmd with "--hidden" as parameter, but not anything else. I repeat, when "ksystraycmd" is used in the "Command" field, eg "ksystraycmd --hidden kwrite", next time when ...

I'm using Mandriva 2006. Thus, KDE is version 3.4.2 I'm trying the Autostart function to call ksystraycmd in order to run a program and minimize it to the system tray according to this doc: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdeba….html#id2560283 The program in question is "VMWare Toolbox", actually. I've noticed that when I reopened the autostart shortcut to see its properties, the "Command" field only shows --hidden vmware-toolbox instead of ksystraycmd --hidden vmware-toolbox Why is it so? A ...
I know how to run a program at KDE startup: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdeba….html#id2560283 I also know that it actually creates a .desktop file in the .kde/Autostart/ directory under the user's home directory, ie, normally it is /home/my_user/.kde/Autostart/my_program.desktop But what to do so that every KDE user has this program autostarted at KDE startup? I mean, instead of copying this .desktop file to every user's home directory, is there a more professional way? Isn't there a shar...

I know how to check KDE version using the GUI method: eg, open Konqueror and look at what's written in About. But is there a way to check the version in command? You know, something like "uname -a"? This is very useful, as all administrators should know, since it would be possible to write shell script to install things according to KDE version. TIA
