After updating to kde 3.5.2 window borders are not painted any more and I only have one Desktop on my second screen. This problem does not exist if I start kde 3.5.2 with an empty KDEHOME. betelgeuse@pena ~ $ emerge --info Portage 2.1_pre10 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.4-r1, 2.6.16-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r4 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre18 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.4.3 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r1 dev-util/confcache: 0.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -mfpmath=sse -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -mfpmath=sse -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/src/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache collision-protect confcache cvs distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict stricter verify-rdepend" GENTOO_MIRRORS=" http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo http://lame.lut.fi/linux/gentoo " LANG="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="fi" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/home/pkg/" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/mnt/checkouts/overlays/betelgeuse /mnt/checkouts/gentooexperimental/gentoo-java-experimental" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 aac acl acpi alsa apm arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bzip2 bzlib cairo cdb cddb cdparanoia cli crypt cups dbus divx4linux dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread emboss esd ffmpeg firefox foomaticdb freetype gif gstreamer gtk2 hal isdnlog java jpeg kde kdeenablefinal libg++ libwww logitech-mouse mad makecheck mikmod mjpeg mmx mmx2 mp3 mpeg ncurses network nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcre pdflib png pppd qt quicktime readline real reflection rtc samba session spell spl sse sse2 ssl subversion svg symlink tcpd theora threads truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb userlocales vorbis win32codecs xcomposite xml xml2 xorg xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_mouse input_devices_keyboard kernel_linux linguas_fi userland_GNU video_cards_none video_cards_nvidia" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK
Created attachment 85900 [details] Screen shot of konsole
Deleting .kde3.5/share/config/ksmserverrc fixed the problem for me
Created attachment 85903 [details] broken ksmserverrc
Can you attach a diff of the broken and properly working ksmserverrc, please!?
Created attachment 86619 [details] diff between working and broken Diff as requested. Of course the sessions are not identical.
How about 3.5.5?
