No it is not necessary.

I want to solve the problem for a few weeks, and decided yesterday to make
something and happened to find the following solution.

In your home directory (for instance) write a script called (for instance)
xconsole :

#!/bin/sh
#
/usr/X11R6/bin/xhost +localhost
/usr/X11R6/bin/xconsole -file /dev/xconsole -daemon -iconic   (see note)

In the directory ~/.kde/Autostart

set a link to the previous script.

xconsole starts at each login and not once over two as previously with suse.

Note : the option -file /dev/xconsole is necessary or you'll have to be root
for xconsole to log.

It works in my box.

Good luck.

Catimimi.
