Ok, I seem to understand now. When adding the command sequence from comment #3, the first 'xrand -q >> ...' actually replaced the dummy command. This gave you the correct results then. - If you replace the 'xrandr > /dev/null' with 'sleep 2' on machines where you have tried this, does it work as well?
According to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94403#c2 sleep 5 was tried only on TW host big41 and did not help. Now on TW 20160321 KDE3 host gx780 (the newest/fastest of my testing machines), precedent sleep 2=success (1680x1050@108DPI) for IceWM via scripted 'WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/bin/icewm startx', but neither for KDE3 either via startx nor via 'WINDOWMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/startkde startx' (1440x900@96DPI). Precendent 'xrandr > /dev/null' instead of 'sleep 2' =success (1680x1050@108DPI) for IceWM via scripted 'WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/bin/icewm startx', and =success (1680x1050@108DPI) for KDE3 either via startx or via 'WINDOWMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/startkde startx'. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
