Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: numlockx
Installing the numlockx package installs a file in /etc/X11/Xsession.d which
activates numlock on X startup. OK.
But if you then deinstall that package, the file in /etc/X11/Xsession.d
remains, and it errors out due to not finding the binary anymore.
That error code gets propagated up, so this small error in fact aborts the
whole X log in, so that after typing my password in kdm I'm back to kdm again -
the session start up is aborted by this error code.
Error handling is good, but this is overzealous error handling :-)
dpkg -r numlockx should remove that Xsession.d file and/or that file
should ignore errors.
** Affects: numlockx (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
