Kde will read the .xinitrc file at the user home directory (/home/tux for the user tux) and launch applications there.

If you want to launch a kde application when login into kde, you can customize that on the Configuration Tab, on the section Desktop. There you can add applications that you want to start for any user you choose. This will result on SUSE Studio writing the .xinitrc files for each user you specified.

If you want that behaviour for every user on the computer, add a customized .xinitrc file to /etc/skeleton/.xinitrc by using the overlay section, so it will be copied on every user home directory.

SUSE Studio will overwrite the .xinitrc for the users you specified, so doing both things can get to impredictible results. If you want to specify a .xinitrc file as default but change it on some users, upload the .xinitrc files for every user (on his home directory) by using the overlay section instead of configuring it through the Configuration Tab
