Greetings markgilmore,

KDE has an Autostart folder.
/home/knoppix/.kde/Autostart
Note: .kde is a hidden file -- you must use
view and select to show hidden files.

On boot a script or link in this folder will start.

Be sure to use sudo to run from root if needed.

To open a Root Shell
rxvt -T Root -bg black -fg green -cr red -ls -e sudo -s

kfmclient can be used to open files with a specified program.
see kfmclient --commands and kfmclient --help

But perhaps this is now what you are asking?
