Bug#491879: kwin does not launch automatically at starting an session (update/workaround)
I discovered, that ALL applications, which are running at the moment, when the "Save Settings"-button is pressed, are mentioned to "ksmserverrc". This happens at logout. ALL running applications are marked with a comma, so at next start they will not be loaded (yes, kwin, too !). Solution (workaround): 1. Save your settings and logout of KDE 2. open your ~/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc withe an editor 3. remove the comma before the required applications in this example, remove the comma before the word "konsole" restartCommand2=,konsole,-session,117f0100010475125550017960004 so it looks like this restartCommand2=konsole,-session,117f0100010475125550017960004 4. save and start KDE. Works ! I hope some developer might find out the reason for this wrong behaviour. Good luck ! Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#491879: kwin does not launch automatically at starting an session
Hi all, I found out, that there might be in the file ~/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc the reason for this behaviour. In this file there are some lines, like these: ... ... ... program1=kwin program2=konsole restartCommand1=kwin,-session,117f010001047192411001074 restartCommand2=konsole,-session,117f0100010475125550017960004 restartStyleHint1=0 restartStyleHint2=0 ... ... ... and these: ... ... program7=kmail program8=gnomemeeting restartCommand1=kwin,-session,117f010001050003362000910_1120028486_6 78589 restartCommand2=kmix,-session,10109d7e4e700011179018100063050018_1120028481_ 961299 restartCommand3=ksensors,-session,11c0a8006300010942770810011470005_11200284 81_964044 restartCommand4=superkaramba,-session,10109d7e4e700011153179340062160031_112 0028481_965242 restartCommand5=kwalletmanager,-session,10109d7e4e700011149350480062170013_1 120028481_965509 res I discovered, that in the non-working session, there is a comma (the ",") set in front of the word "kwin" at the lines, were "kwin" is mentioned. How and who this comma is setting, I could not find out, but if you are removing it, everything is working fine. I think, the coders know more about it. I hope this helps !

Wild guess, can you try with up-to-date kdelibs to -4 and start your system with a previous kernel image?
