The default client is /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. If another one is specified on the command line, /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc is not executed unless executed from the one specified. The WINDOWMANAGER env variable is used by /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to start a windowmanager (or desktop). Since you see this behaviour when specifying /usr/bin/startkde as client it is more an issue of KDE. However nothing says that the client script used needs to execute /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc or scripts from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d as these scripts don't supplement but replace the default client (script). Looks like enlightenment_start doesn't do this either. There seems to be a file '$HOME/.config/startkderc' which might do what you want for startkde. The KDE folks may be able to help. Assigning to kde-maintainers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
