Hello all, (First of all, apologies if this is already fixed in natty. This is on a maverick system with 4.5.95 packages from the beta ppa.)
Since 4.5.85, scripts in /etc/X11/Xsession.d are no longer sourced by /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsession. This means tidbits like 80kubuntu-xmodmap for automatic ~/.Xmodmap execution, 80im-switch for easy input method management and others aren't factored in on session startup. >From the tail of 4.5.1's /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsession; ># invoke global X session script >. /etc/X11/Xsession It's not there in 4.5.85 and onwards. Some of the functionality from said Xsession.d scripts seems to now be duplicated in startkde, such as launch of dbus --exit-with-session, which would (as far as I gather) otherwise be handled by 75dbus_dbus-launch. >From 4.5.95's startkde at around line 377; ># D-Bus autolaunch is broken >if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then > eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session` >fi Paraphrased from 75dbus_dbus-launch; >if has_option use-session-dbus; then > STARTUP="/usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session $STARTUP" >fi I couldn't find any adverse effects after adding the sourcing back, besides a probably slower session boot since it's again doing stuff it didn't. Moreover debug statements showed that, with 75dbus_dbus-launch once again being sourced, the "D-Bus autolaunch is broken" bit could be commented/removed from startkde.

Obviously xmodmap isn't executing ~/.Xmodmap anymore, neither is easy switching of input methods via im-switch working, and whatever else those Xsession.d scripts are doing. Zorael
