You can add a .desktop file to that directory and have that application 
started automatically.

Yes - it is about session management and those session files are located in 
~/.kde/share/config/session/

However, when talking about knetworkmanager, I think the case is different - 
you have chosen to use Network Manager to control network settings (not 
the "traditional" way). And when Network Manager is running, knetworkmanager 
(a front end to this) is started automatically. I am not 100% sure about 
this, but I remember switching to NM for a test and KNM was there too... If 
you don't need the NM functionality (i.e. you are not on a laptop, moving 
around between different network configurations), you should switch back to 
the traditional way of managing interfaces (ifup, ifdown and family). To do 
this, go to YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Cards and on the first screen 
choose the other control method - Traditional.

KDE can be set to exclude some applications from session: Control Center -> 
KDE Components -> Session Manager (bottom). I am not sure if this will have 
any effect on KNM, though...

Good luck!
