i will check that... i do not close down all the gkrellm monitors when i quit kde so that 
it will start them back up. i have noticed with kde4 that when it does start them all it 
starts them as plain kde not as remote managers. it leaves off the cmdline. that may also 
be because i have the execute command all in one line. however there is no field in the 
create menu item that allows cmdline options... i may have to generate a unique script for 
each of the names of the monitors so there is only 1 possible interpretation of the 
command. ugh i hate kde4.

won't that prevent me from opening 20+ monitors in one desktop?
