James Little gave me detailed instructions that worked great for me. Here
they are:
1 Open your autostart folder on your desktop. In it put a kdelink
(application type) that contains the following lines:
#!/bin/bash
# Sets IMwheel and modem upon logon
imwheel -k
exit 0
2. As root change the /temp/imwheel.pid "file permissions" to your username.
Otherwise I found that imwheel would not start except if I logged in as root
because it could not manipulate the imwheel.pid file. Being a newbie, I
used Midnight commander to change the file permissions. To start MC open a
console and change to su (superuser which is equivalent to root) and then
type mc and go from there.
These instructions worked for me in KDE.
