Yeap you're right! there's some interesting output on .xsession-errors: Xsession: X session started for zapz at Sun Dec 30 01:36:42 EET 2012 localuser:zapz being added to access control list /usr/local/bin/enlightenment: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/bin/enlightenment: undefined symbol: ECORE_X_ATOM_E_ILLUME_WINDOW_STATE E - PID=4854, valgrind=0
I did some more testing and this is a problem with both kdm/gdm, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and debian based (at least) distros, including ubuntu. This is caused by a new feature in openssh that forces glibc to remove some environmental variables including LD_LIBRARY_PATH as a security measure. As a result both kdm & gdm do not have this variable set and e17 fails to launch. More info here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/315591 and here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=328479 the workaround was to call enlightenment_start through a script which also exports the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable again. many thanks for your help! 2012/12/30 Wido <wido...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > > > I've been using kdm with compiled E17 for a few years (4 at least) and never > got any issues.
