Confirming the issue. I've just installed latest KDE4 from PPA.
File /usr/lib/kde4/bin/startkde (belongs to kdebase-workspace-bin), line 82
reads:
. $kdehome/share/config/startupconfig
This file is initially missing. The problem is, that this script is run by
/bin/sh, not /bin/bash and sh terminates a script, when it tries to source a
non-existent file. Either an interpreter should be changed to bash (on the 1st
line: #!/bin/bash), or the line should be changed to:
[ -e $kdehome/share/config/startupconfig] && .
$kdehome/share/config/startupconfig
Importance of this bug should be increased (but it looks like I don't
have an appropriate permissions), because this will totally prevent KDE
4 session from being started. However, it's quite easy to fix (see
above).
