The suggested default value of kde gives the behavior seen so far. Set DEFAULT_WM to kwin instead of kde then: # resmgr dump ### begin dump class audioplayer class pda class scanner class modem class camera class usb class floppy class cdrom class input class video class sound class v4l class dvb class remote-x-desktop class desktop class desktop includes dvb class desktop includes v4l class desktop includes sound class desktop includes video class desktop includes input class desktop includes cdrom class desktop includes floppy class desktop includes usb class desktop includes camera class desktop includes scanner class desktop includes pda class desktop includes audioplayer login "mv" :0 grant "mv" desktop grant "mv" dvb grant "mv" v4l grant "mv" sound grant "mv" video grant "mv" input grant "mv" cdrom grant "mv" floppy grant "mv" usb grant "mv" camera grant "mv" scanner grant "mv" pda grant "mv" audioplayer ### end dump # ck-list-sessions Session2: uid = '1000' realname = 'Mark Van De Vyver' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = TRUE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7' display-device = '' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2009-04-21T03:56:43Z' You end up in the ('broken'?) situation leading to the bug report if you install kde4 from the stable repos. Even if you fully un-install the KDE3 desktop pattern. The steps to this are quite involved. To me the KDE4 stable repo had bizarre internal contradictions and conflicts. I'll post the details in a separate comment. Would appreciate you indicating if you agree that some of these behaviors/effects are bugs, then I'll open separate bug reports. I think the (broken?) KDE4 stable repo might be why people using 11.0 are getting them selves into this pickle. It is also not established that using kwin as the default WM value will eliminate the need for the polkit-auth commands to be run on 11.0 at least. I think this would need to be confirmed via an installation of KDE3 on 11.0, updated to KDE4 from the stable repo first.
