thanks
I recently discovered the autorun support in KDE, which start programs
when the user log in based on the content of /etc/xdg/autostart and
/usr/share/autostart/. I suspect this could be used to fix this
problem.
The problem was introduced in version 1.434, with this changelog:
* Add etc/skel/.kde/share/config/kickerrc enabling
mediaapplet.desktop for users, to make sure the direct media
applet is started. The file was created by logging in and adding
the applet to kicker. The list of default applets in kicker is
hardcoded in the source, so this is the only non-forking way to
add a default applet. The list of applications in
share/debian-edu/common/share/apps/kicker/default-apps is
overrided.
Using the autostart feature, I suspect it is possible to get the media
applet started for first time users by adding the appropriate desktop
file in /etc/xdg/autostart or /usr/share/autostart/.
Here is an untested patch to implement this. The mediaapplet.desktop
was copied from /usr/share/apps/kicker/applets/mediaapplet.desktop and
all translations were dropped. If this patch work, it only make sense
to implement in Lenny, as the mediaapplet do not exist in KDE 4. For
Squeeze, removing the .kde/ file is the only part that make sense.
