I have run into this problem too so here is a short summary. /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsession is not used at all, at least when starting KDE.
/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup is used but sourcing /etc/profile there is wrong and has no effect anyway. The suggested .xsessionrc workaround works. For instance: ( echo '[ -f /etc/profile ] && . /etc/profile'; echo '[ -f "$HOME/.profile" ] && . "$HOME/.profile"' ) >"$HOME/.xsessionrc" Another option that works but is not as clean is to add those lines to /usr/bin/strartkde. I hope a better fix can be found to not force every user to manually create a file in his $HOME. -- Francois Gouget <fgou...@free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ If it stinks, it's chemistry.
