I do not see it. If it is, I am happy. I even checked it by putting
check script in /etc/X11/Xsessin.d/ directory and it was not run at all.
So I am sure you have different version. This is Sid (unstable) I as I
initially reported. (Is my mirror behind? Or are you behind?)
osamu@dambo:kdm$ grep Xsession Xsession
# Xsession - run as user
osamu@dambo:kdm$ dpkg -l kdm kdebase-bin

That is interesting point I overlooked.
But as of 3.3.0-1,
After getting environment from shell startup script
exec /usr/bin/startkde
seems to be what happens as I read script as is.
