Run gnome-settings-deaemon on KDE 4 start

Although I run KDE 4 I also use some GNOME applications because they are better. Most of them require gnome-settings-daemon to access configuration data.  It is bothersome to run gnome-settings-daemon manually from console.Do you know a simple way to do it automatically on KDE start up? I am using GDM to start KDE.

Maybe you should add

gnome-settings-daemon &

to your ~/.xinitrc file ?

kde4 runs programs in ~/.kde4/Autostart automatically on start. So just link gnome-settings-daemon there:

ln -s /usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon ~/.kde4/Autostart
