Description Jeld The Dark Elf 2002-07-13 11:57:08 UTC
When running KDE from KDM login, environment variables from /etc/env.d do not 
get set, resulting in multiple problems such as kdevelop not finding Qt 
Designer.
Comment 1 Dan Armak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-28 17:08:53 UTC
All our current startkde's start a login session, which should inherit env.d 
settings. Check if your $KDEDIR/bin/startkde has #!/bin/sh --login, if --login 
is missing that is the source of the problem. You can either add it manually or 
[re]emerge the latest kdebase.

everyone has something diff to say ... think it should all be wrapped up and 
put into 1 bundle though ;)

I think my latest comment closes this bug, and since there are so many no 
reason to keep them all open. I'm closing this so that any further relevant 
comments can go into the main discussion at #5699.

Changed the shell for /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession and /etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default
to "/bin/bash --login".  Please check the ChangeLogs, and then remerge them
(xfree-4.2.1-r2, gdm).
