Bug#491879: kwin does not launch automatically at starting an session (update/workaround)



I discovered, that ALL applications, which are running at the moment, when 
the "Save Settings"-button is pressed, are mentioned to "ksmserverrc".

This happens at logout. 

ALL running applications are marked with a comma, so at next start they will 
not be loaded (yes, kwin, too !).

Solution (workaround):

1. Save your settings and logout of KDE

2. open your ~/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc withe an editor

3. remove the comma before the required applications 

in this example, remove the comma before the word "konsole"

restartCommand2=,konsole,-session,117f000001000104751255500000017960004

so it looks like this

restartCommand2=konsole,-session,117f000001000104751255500000017960004

4. save and start KDE. Works !

I hope some developer might find out the reason for this wrong behaviour.

Good luck !

Hans
