Bug#340968: kde: work-around for hanging at session
Package: kde
Followup-For: Bug #340968
I'm not sure if this is the same problem as the original report, but
the symtoms seem similar.
For two different upgrades of KDE, first from 3.3 to 3.4 and then
within 3.4 I I had KDE hang partway through restoring session on login
from kdm. This did not kill my X server; I think that's different
from the original report.
This did not happen with a newly created user. I was able to "fix"
the problem by removing .kde/share/config/ksmserverrc and the session
directory. The 2nd time I only deleted ksmserverrc and that was
sufficient. Obviously I lost my saved sessions.
I can provide the ksmserverrc file; I have not attached it because I'm
not sure if it contains any potentially sensitive information (that
is, I don't know what it records other than program and window
location).
Upgrades were
Preparing to replace kdebase-bin 4:3.3.2-1sarge1 (using
