Package: kdm Version: 4:3.4.2-2 Severity: important Because KDM sources the ~/*profile login scripts in /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsessions and because of previously (and as yet) undetected problems in these scripts, KDM resets after login, considering the session has ended. These scripts worked fine previously (and still do, in, say, GDM). Obviously this is a user error, but it is uncovered by the new sourcing behaviour. Because there was no problem in KDM itself, and the session exited 'normally', the problem was very difficult to track down.
This effectively rendered KDM useless. It would be useful to warn the user of this 'new' behaviour, maybe in /usr/share/doc/NEWS.Debian.
