Package: ksmserver
Version: 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-2+b1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
First: I don't use any display manager, I start X with the startx command.
The problem occured when I installed Gwenview, KPhotoAlbum and digiKam. At
this point I was running a KDE 3.5.5 setup and I used
apt-get install gwenview kphotoalbum digikam
This caused several other KDE packages to be updated to 3.5.9, among them
kdebase-bin, kdelibs4c2a, kdesktop etc.
Next time I started X with startx I got a black screen with a mouse pointer,
nothing else. Clicking and keystrokes didn't cause any reaction.
I first updated kwin from 3.5.5 to 3.5.9 wich didn't have any effect. After
updating ksmserver from 3.5.5 to 3.5.9 the KDE session starts again and
everything runs as normal.
I think that there is a dependency missing between ksmserver and some of the
basic KDE packages so that if those are update ksmserver gets updated too.

Hi,
You filed the bug http://bugs.debian.org/481584
in the Debian BTS against the package ksmserver.
Debian has switched to KDE 4 in unstable and ksmserver
does not exist in KDE 4. Therefore, I am closing this bug as fixed
in *unstable*. The bug will remain open for stable since it is
shipping KDE 3.5.
Ana
