The problem seems to be that I re-added the sourcing of shell config files in KDE 3.4. On startup, kdm uses zsh to source /etc/X11/Xsession (after sourcing its own config files), but fails because zsh handles expansion in an unusual way (the expansion, in this case, of the files in /etc/X11/Xsession.d). To get it to work, we need to set: setopt shwordsplit I've attached an alternate Xsession script that includes this change. Could you test it? Thanks, Christopher Martin
