ksmserver doesn't start new applications. It only starts the applications that 
existed in the previous session, then sits there idling forever, until you 
quit the desktop.

The thing that starts applications after the login is finished is 
kdeinit{,4,5}. It supports starting both regular applications as well as 
kdeinit applications.
