[Bug 688393] [NEW] Global "X11/Xsession" script is not sourced in "kdm/Xsession" script

[MyXelf]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

Hi:

kdebase-workspace (4:4.5.85-0ubuntu1~maverick1~ppa1) -> kdm
(4:4.5.85-0ubuntu1~maverick1~ppa1)

This is happening since I upgraded from KDE 4.5.4 to KDE 4.6 beta1.
Today I upgraded to KDE 4.6 beta2, and the problem persists.

The script located in /etc/X11/Xsession is not sourced from
/etc/kde4/kdm/Xsession. I checked a previous version of the kdm/Xsession
file and at the end was the following lines:

# invoke global X session script
. /etc/X11/Xsession

Due to the new nature of the script, I suspect a lot of things are
changing, and maybe the global Xsession file should be sourced from some
other point, but for sure that place doesn't exist right now.

By not running the global script you lose some functionalities (i.e. SSH
agent)

I thought this could be directly related to KDE beta versions, so I
reported here (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259368) but the
answer was it's Ubuntu's changes.

I hope this helps
