- Launch / open the "Control Center" (KDE Menu)
- Expand the "Sound & Multimedia" category
- From the "Sound & Multimedia" section select "System Notifications"
- Select "KDE System Notifications" from the "Event Source:" pop-up at 
the top of the right-hand side of the Control Center.
- Select "KDE is starting up" from the list below the pop-up
- Enable "Play a sound:" in the "Actions" section (if not already 
enabled)
- Either type the full path name of the sound file you want to use or 
click the folder icon at the right to browse for it.


I use "/opt/kde3/share/sounds/KDE_Startup_1.ogg" (and 
"...Logout_1.ogg").


One think you'll want to be careful about is that if you switch away 
from the Control Center window while you have, say, the "KDE is 
starting up" action selected, when you come back to the Control Center 
window the selection will revert to the first item in the action list 
("A critical message is being shown"). If you're not careful, you might 
end up changing the dispensation for the wrong action.
