Details

Description:
In the file /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsession, the system xinitrc shell scripts are not executed, because the line
. "$i"
should be
"$i"
(no dot), as in:

# run all system xinitrc shell scripts.
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for i in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/* ; do
if [ -x "$i" ]; then
"$i"
fi
done
fi

I don't know if this from upstream, I'm a beginner and don't know how to chekc.

Additional info:
* kdebase-workspace 4.11.8-2
* /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsession


Steps to reproduce:
put anything in the xinitrc.d directory, it won't be executed (some "dbus" thing is also in there, which might be important)
This task depends upon

The xinitrc shell scripts aren't executed, but sourced. This is intended behaviour.

Yes, that makes sense! Thanks and sorry for bothering!
