Bug#247243: /usr/bin/startkde: upgrades reset x-session-manager alternative to --auto
Package: ksmserver
Version: 4:3.2.2-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/startkde
This [incredibly] annoying behavior, I think, is due to how the
preinst script handles upgrades. It really should check to make sure
the version being upgraded from is old enough that there's a need to
call update-alternatives --auto (thereby dumping the administrator's
preferred x-session-manager in favor of startkde).
