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
