A sound or music when your desktop is starting?

Hi all,

What do you think about a sound or music when your gnome ok kde desktop is
starting? It's just an idea :-)

KDE already has one (from upstream).

For gnome, System -> Preferences -> Sounds

For KDE, probably something in kcontrol.

KControl -> Sound & Multimedia -> System Notifications
to be exact. :)

And it's quite essential to a blind computer user like yours truly.

However, I find myself wishing I could have thelast action of the
desktop loading be some sound event -- so that I can know it's now OK to
start pressing keys -- to load my screen reader, for instance.

And, if this sound doesn't play that would likely be very strong
evidence that some message has popped up about something not working
correctly -- which just might be successfully dismessed by pressing Esc.

I should imagine making some sond file play as the last action of the
desktop being loaded is not a difficult thing, but I haven't a clue
where to put my aplay command. Advice on that would be most appreciated,
e.g. what's the desktop equiv of /etc/rc.local?

On KDE that would be a script file in ~/.kde/Autostart. I think they're
executed in alphabetical order, but I'm not sure.

On GNOME there is something like "Startup Programs" in the control center
where you could put such a script too.
