Bug#794419: sddm doesn't source /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile

[Francois Gouget <fgouget@free.fr>]

I have run into this problem too so here is a short summary.

/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsession is not used at all, at least when 
starting KDE.

/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup is used but sourcing /etc/profile there 
is wrong and has no effect anyway.

The suggested .xsessionrc workaround works. For instance:

(
  echo '[ -f /etc/profile ] && . /etc/profile';
  echo '[ -f "$HOME/.profile" ] && . "$HOME/.profile"'
) >"$HOME/.xsessionrc"


Another option that works but is not as clean is to add those lines to 
/usr/bin/strartkde.


I hope a better fix can be found to not force every user to manually 
create a file in his $HOME.
