Description Thomas Kahle (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-09-30 20:07:49 UTC 
Hi, I think the KDE-4 Session file could be improved. Currently it only starts kde with startkde

# cat /etc/X11/Sessions/KDE-4
#!/bin/sh
exec "/usr/bin/startkde"

This means that .Xresources, .Xkbmap, .Xmodmap will be ignored both in the users home directory and system wide /etc/X11.

Just take a look at /etc/X11/Sessions/Gnome from gnome-base/gnome-session to see what's possible. I consider this a bug. X should respect users Xresources in some way and comparing with how Gnome does it, I believe the Session file is the place to do it.

Reproducible: Always

Added enhancements based on xinit in the kde overlay for 4.6.1-r2 and later. Please test and give feedback...
