Hi Roman,

thanks for your reply!

Thanks for the link! I will have a look into it. I'm just beginning to
understand how user sessions work.

There are two problems with this approach:

We would have to rely on code in the users home directory. This means
anyone could change the code and break things.

Also this slot is too late, since the ksplash is already running. There
are however cases where user interaction is needed during login process.

And the scripts in "$HOME/.config/plasma-workspace/env" are executed by
startkde to set the environment. This would be in my opinion a misuse.

We hook into the user session the same way the ssh agent does: In
"/etc/X11/Xsession.d" there is a variable $STARTUP build up with
processes wrapping each other, finally wrapping the executable from the
selected session in "/usr/share/xsessions".

This also happens with a single user session. And this can be reproduced
with an unchanged kde-neon. Just add some echos to the end of startkde
(see attainment). They will be executed if the user just logs out. But
they won't be executed if the user requests a shutdown. This is either a
bug in kdisplaymanager in plsama-workspace or in logind.

As mentioned above we wrap startkde. Therefore the logout task run when
startkde returns.

The logind Option "KillUserProcesses" is switched off in ubuntu by
default. We didn't change that (yet).

This would require that the plsama desktop is also started as systemd
user service. Otherwise the desktop would start in parallel to the login
tasks. Correct me if I am wrong, but this is currently not possible.
