Package: kdm Version: 4:3.2.2-1 Severity: normal In the out-of-the-box configuration of 'kdm', the "Start New Session" feature found in the Lock/Logout-Applet and in the KDE start menu is missing.
The source of the problem are commented out entries in '/etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers', which looks as follows after the package has been installed: -------------->8--------------------- [...comments...] :0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp vt7 #:1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :1 vt8 #:2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :2 vt9 #:3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :3 vt10 #:4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :4 vt11 [...more comments...] ------------->8----------------------- The additional server lines (at least one) ':1', ':2', ... must be uncommented in order for the "Start New Session" feature to work. This should be the standard setup for the 'kdm' package. (The feature is also missing in the most recent 'kdm' package from 'unstable', which I have verified by hand.)
