Package: x11-common Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 Followup-For: Bug #302685
I also removed gdm and replaced it with kdm, and I get lines in my .bashrc appearing as little error pop-ups during desktop initialization and in the .xsession-errors file (excerpt follows). I had added these lines to /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession to get more debugging messages: exec >/tmp/Xsession 2>&1 echo 'ARGS=' $* set -x -----------.xsession-errors------------- ... +++ expr 99x11-common_start : '[[:alnum:]_-]\+$' +++ '[' -f /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start ']' +++ echo /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start +++ for F in '$(/bin/ls $1)' +++ expr 99xfree86-common_start : '[[:alnum:]_-]\+$' +++ '[' -f /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start ']' +++ echo /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start ++ SESSIONFILES='/etc/X11/Xsession.d/20x11-common_process-args /etc/X11/Xsession.d/20xfree86-common_process-args /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30xfree86-common_xresources /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50xfree86-common_determine-startup /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90xfree86-common_ssh-agent /etc/X11/Xsession.d/92xprint-xpserverlist /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start' ++ '[' -n '/etc/X11/Xsession.d/20x11-common_process-args /etc/X11/Xsession.d/20xfree86-common_process-args /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30xfree86-common_xresources /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50xfree86-common_determine-startup /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90xfree86-common_ssh-agent /etc/X11/Xsession.d/92xprint-xpserverlist /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start' ']' ++ for SESSIONFILE in '$SESSIONFILES' ++ . /etc/X11/Xsession.d/20x11-common_process-args +++ case $# in +++ case "$1" in ++++ which horizontal_scroll_mode=on ++++ true +++ STARTUP_FULL_PATH= +++ '[' -n '' ']' +++ message 'unable to launch "horizontal_scroll_mode=on" X session ---' '"horizontal_scroll_mode=on" not found; falling back to default session.' +++ MESSAGE='Xsession: unable to launch "horizontal_scroll_mode=on" X session --- "horizontal_scroll_mode=on" not found; falling back to default session.' +++ echo 'Xsession: unable to launch "horizontal_scroll_mode=on" X session --- "horizontal_scroll_mode=on" not found; falling back to default session.' ...
