Leslie,
To accomplish what you want, you application needs a .desktop file which is
basically how kde session-manager keeps track of what is running when logout.
You can
$ cat ~/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc
(or make the TDE name changes needed, I don't think the config files are renamed)
Anyway, you can create a desktop file for whatever application you have that
you want to restart (easiest way is with kmenuedit and just create an icon for
your program and TDE will create an entry in ~/.local/share/applications.
If I recall correctly, once TDE can associate the running application with a
desktop file in applications it can restart, then the session manager can add
it to ksmserverrc for restart on login
