Bug#747906: kmix: almost always does not autostart on boot



Control: ressign -1 kde-workspace-bin 4:4.11.3-1

Hi,

Since the problem is that some parts of the session are not starting, I would
say the one to blame is ksmserver and not kmix. In an "ideal" world, even if
a part fails to load the rest of the session should be unaffected. So, it
seems to me that you are hitting: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328571

There are a few workarounds for this bug, one involves rebuilding kde4libs
with this patch:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/kdelibs.git/tree/kdelibs-4.11.3-klauncher-no-glib.patch

Another involves reordering the autostart files in different phases.

Also, moving away some of the /usr/share/autostart/* files may be useful to
find the culprit.

Also using the default session seems to avoid the issue (that would be:
~/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc [General] loginMode=default ).

I think that the problem is that some program invoked as an autostart is
breaking the ksmserver incantations, then the result is a partial session.

Doing some research, kmix had some issues prior kmix 4.11 that caused this,
that's the bug you found, but it seems to be fixed now, and the problem may be
caused by any other program.

Happy hacking,
