KDE's kdm starting filePro

[Walter Vaughan]

I am not sure this is possible. I have a KDE environment that I need to startup 
in a GUI environment from boot via kde (this is not the problem).

I'd like to (really need to) use the same login and password for logging into 
KDE environment the same login that they will use to access filePro via PuTTY.

If I put "/appl/fp/p menu" inside that users .profile, it hangs the startup of 
KDE, since it wants to run that at *it's* startup, rather than only looking at 
that when they ssh into the filePro application.

I can't seem to see a way to have .profile execute differently when it's a ssh 
connection vs. KDE's startup.

Any and all ideas accepted. Karma bonus modifiers handed out freely.
