For the benefit of other KDE users, more precisely:

Check out Kontrol Center -> KDE Components -> Session Manager
* If "Restore Previous Session" is checked, any applet running when you log
  out will get launched automatically when you log in again. So you only
  need to launch nm-applet once and everything should be fine.
* If "Restore manually saved session" is checked, you need to launch
  nm-applet once, postition the windows you wish to see at kde start, and
  clock on "Save Session" in the K-menu.
* If "Start with an empty session" is checked, you will need to launch
  nm-applet each time or use another mechanism to launch it automatically.
