How to run terminal command on KDE launch "newbie"

[Guest]

Hi, just installed Kubuntu using wubi yesterday and really enjoying the ride..

I have an non synaptics touchpad and found that I can use the command " synclient MaxTapTime=0" to disable the tap to click. I was to run this command automatically on login to my user account. I have tried adding a script to Autostart ( system settings/ advanced/autostart) but this make a desktop file that tries to launch in Kate. I have tried changing the file type and adding .sh but this does not work.

Any advise would be appriciated, please give me simple newbie instaructios.
I have Kubuntu 8.10 with KDE 4.1

Thanks

Maybe/earlier > Topic: Start a program at boot.

=>

#1
Make a textfile (name could be synaptics_mod or whatever) to the /home/<USER>/.kde/Autostart:

#!/bin/sh

synclient MaxTapTime=0

<USER> is your username

#2
Make it executable (right click your file (Dolphin/Konqueror)> Properties >Permissions > is executable).

Why would you not just add this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Instead of adding a script, choose 'add program' and in the box, enter the command string.
