Dear maintainers,

please take a look to the creation of the file "ksmserverrc". I think, it is wrong created or wrong interpreted when starting kde.

Hi all, 

I found out, that there might be in the file 

~/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc the reason for this behaviour. 
In this file there are some lines, like these:


...
...
program7=kmail
program8=gnomemeeting
restartCommand1=,kwin,-session,117f000001000105000336200000009100000_1120028486_6
78589
restartCommand2=,kmix,-session,10109d7e4e7000111790181000000063050018_1120028481_
961299
restartCommand3=,ksensors,-session,11c0a80063000109427708100000011470005_11200284
81_964044
restartCommand4=,superkaramba,-session,10109d7e4e7000111531793400000062160031_112
0028481_965242
restartCommand5=,kwalletmanager,-session,10109d7e4e7000111493504800000062170013_1

All these applications in this example shall be restarted at next login to kde, but they will not. I tested and found out, that the comma sign before the applications must be removed like this:

restartCommand5=kwalletmanager,-session,10109d7e4e7000111493504800000062170013_1
120028481_965509

Removing them manually in this file before starting kde, everything works fine. 

So I guess, either the comma is set wrong by creating "ksmserverrc" or, at reading the lines are wrong interpreted.

I do not know, which application is responsible for it, but your coders should know. It is not a Debian related bug, as I read about this at other distributions, too.

The bug is as well related to a Debian bugreport (#491879): the wrong comma before the application "kwin" in "ksmserverrc" inhibits kwin to start.

Please feel free to ask for further information.

Thanks for all the help !

Cheers
