Yes, KDM is calling startkde which in turn calls kdeinit.
Thanks. I have recently learned that, though I'm still trying to get my
brain around what the various components do.
At the 'Start new session' option from the K menu the new
user has the option to choose the type of session (KDE,
Gnome etc) they want to run. I guess whatever is doing
this session management bypasses 'conventional' X session
startup methods.
What is the full range of options for type of session: there
should be an equivalent to gdm's "Default system session"
that executes $HOME/.xsession .
I have a menu of
Session Type
Remote Login
Console Login
Shutdown
Session Type -> submenu:
Default
Custom
GNOME
Failsafe
I can't see where that's configured (I've looked mainly in
/etc/kde3/kdm/). In particular, I don't know what/where/how the 'Custom'
Session Type is configured. I'm also in the dark about the 'Remote
Login' option, and how 'Console Login' differs from Session Type ->
Failsafe. (I haven't tried all the options: I'm still learning about
Linux in general and Debian, KDE, KDM etc etc and there's so much to do,
so little time to do it in :-()
