Package: systemsettings
Version: 4:4.3.2-1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss

In systemsettings -> Default Applications -> Window Manager; i selected "use a different window manager", namely: Openbox. Before it was at "use the default KDE window manager (KWin)". Then a window came up, notifying me, that the new window manager will be started, so I clicked ok. It's funny that I was already in OpenBox, and so I thought nothing would happen. However after clicking ok, the X11 Session closed, and I was greeted with the LDM Login manager (used in LTSP), while potentially loosing all unsaved documents..  

I don't use KDE4, but I installed kdebase-workspace, so that Kded wouldn't spam my terminal window full of messages. I have Xorg running on a thin client via the standard Linux Terminal Server Project, and it has it's own login manager (LDM). systemsettings needs to:
- recognize that KDE isn't the window manager in use (why was it selected the first time i launched systemsettings?)
- a clearer warning should be issued to the user, that he should save his documents before X11 restarts

Another potential issue is that when I select "use the default KDE window manager (KWin)", the same thing happens as (hopefully well) described above. Yet, OpenBox starts, since LDM is the login manager and not KDM.
