>Description:
If a user has KSH specific commands in their $HOME/.profile and sourcing (. $HOME/.profile) the file causes an error, the user will not be able to login via kdm.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a user that uses ksh/pdksh and put KSH specific commands into the $HOME/.profile. Try to login via kdm
>Fix:
Patching /usr/local/kde4/share/config/kdm/Xsession with the given patch solves the problem, but because Xsession is not part of the kdebase-workspace-4.3.5 package, the bin/genkdmconf command needs to be patched.
Patch attached with submission follows:
--- Xsession.orig 2010-04-27 13:32:09.000000000 -0400
+++ Xsession 2010-04-27 14:06:25.000000000 -0400
