I have been bitten by this one, too. (My .xsession file wasn't used).
I seem to remember I had to choose "default" session in kdm, the other ones  
(kde3, blackbox, etc) uses the system Xsession.

Consider this me speaking up :-)  Alsa is highly discouraged by the
rosegarden devs, both for performance reasons and sound quality issues.
I would *definetly* like to have alsa up to par, as it's a pita to kill
artsd before launching rosegarden, but the difference is big enough to
make it worth it.

i know. i have the same. ;)
anyway, that does not mean anything. afaik, /usr/bin/X11/X is the
offcial "entry point". this wrapper program then uses (or does not use)
the symlink depending on the way it was configured with debconf.

1. add

  allow-user-xsession in /etc/X11/Xsession.options

2. modify your .xsession in the following manner:

  #!/bin/sh
  killall gpg-agent
  eval `/usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon`
  exec /usr/bin/kde3

This should do the job.

Maybe a

#!/bin/sh
exec kdialog --password 'give me the mantra'
^D

as another (/etc/)alternative for ssh-askpass  would also.

There's only a suble difference:  On cancel gnome version
return '' + retcode 0, kdialog returns "\n" and retcode 1.

This is correct here (exec $REALSTARTUP). I'm trying to make
gpg-agent start on login but this seems more difficult than I
thought.

Putting an

eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)"

into my ~/.xsession does not help. gpg-agent is not running after
login. .xsession is executable.

Then I tried to put a small Script into ~/.kde/Autostart. Now
gpg-agent is running after login, but KDE knows nothing about the
GPG_AGENT_INFO variable (tested with Alt-F2 --> env > /tmp/env.log)

Any hints on how to make that work?

It sets a display on reserve without opening it, i.e. it opens it on demand. 
To use the feature, you need to lock your screen. Then you will see a new 
button right from the password input to unlock the screen which says "Start 
new session". Click on that button and it will open a new KDM login on the 
first reserved vt, i.e. on vt8. You can then log in as a different user 
(which is extremely useful in families if you don't want to close your 
session just because your wife bugs you because she wants to play kpat or 
check her mail, also for your kids). To switch between the screens use 
Alt+Ctrl+F7 / F8 / F9 etc.

I can only report what I've seen:  Without reserve all the X server
would be started when kdm starts.   With reserve they are started on request
when you use in the K-menu  'Start New Session' (above 'logout ""' and 
'lock
screen').   It also looks like that the additional xserver is kill after some
timeout when no one is logging in or when one logs out from these additional
screens.

Hi Ralf,

I added those line to the file. But how can I test it? What is the
difference now?
And waht exactly does the "reserve" do?

On the matter of ~/.xsession - If you have a look into 

cat /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start

does it say:

exec $REALSTARTUP

or

exec "$REALSTARTUP"

? The latter is wrong but appeared in some versions of XFree shipped with 
debian AFAIK, but I only have the first one which should work (which is XFree 
4.2.1). If that works for you to change this, I'd add that to the README too.

That means, if you have an AGP aperture size of 32 mb it will take another 32 
mb also  for AGP cards ? Or is that only limited to this calculation ?

I never used 2.2.2 on woody so I don't know what's the specifics there and 
what ssh-askpass-gnome is. Could you come up with more details and an 
explanation what ssh-askpass-gnome is ?

s -l /etc/X11/X
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   20 Dec  7 21:44 /etc/X11/X -> 
/usr/bin/X11/XFree86

mind that I use XFree 4.2.1 on my laptop, I hope this is working reliable 
then, ossi - don't you think we could add those lines per default into the 
debian Xservers file for KDM and comment them out with hashes ?

this is a helper link of the debian config system, which i thought

Yepp, seems to work fine :-)

As a side notice: gpg-agent doesn't exit when you leave your X session. To 
kill it, place a script chmod 755 into ~/.kde/shutdown (I should make a note 
to that trick, too on my README).

BTW: if you want to use an XP-like multi-session feature for X, change 

/etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers

add lines like these:
# Examples for multiple local X displays:
# :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt9 -bpp 16
# :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt10 -bpp 8
:0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/X11/X :0 vt7
:1 local reserve /usr/bin/X11/X :1 vt8
:2 local reserve /usr/bin/X11/X :1 vt9
:3 local reserve /usr/bin/X11/X :1 vt10

the reserve is the point :-) You could also use /etc/X11/X though, I just did 
a copy& paste from somewhere else :-)

Just moved from pinentry-gtk to pinenty-qt, and assuming this mail comes

New packages & changes

2003-01-21 Thread Ralf Nolden
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I've uploaded a new set of kde-i18n packages, new kdelibs package and some 
other utilities this week like guarddog and kbear, today someone on IRC asked 
me for rosegarden so I added that too (though it's build with arts support, 
not alsa support - if you like it different for performance reasons, please 
speak up :-)

There's three things that I changed in addition:

1. pinentry updated - pinentry-qt had a problem with setting the DISPLAY 
variable, Steffen Hansen sent us a patch that I merged in. The .orig.tar.gz 
from the sources is the same, the diff.gz contains the patch as a separate 
diff file and has, after retrieving and applying the diff.gz with apt-get 
source, the patch applied. Please test pinentry-qt if that works now for you.

2. I also added a ChangeLog lately that I try to keep up-to-date with what I 
add, so you can look for yourself if you see something interesting.

3. The last addition is a file md5sum.txt in kde/woody which has the md5sums 
of my i386 and source directories on my build machines. This may help to 
verify if your packages are the same ones as they are on my machine to ensure 
that you're on the safe side with the sources and the packages that you 
retrieve, especially regarding security issues and the aegypten 
crypto-packages.

NB: if you have any other Qt/KDE 3 package that isn't included in 
i386/applications yet which you think is useful and would like to have a 
package for, please notify me.

Thanks for listening,

Ralf
