Description Martin 2014-05-13 20:27:43 UTC

Since the change made via revision https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-workspace/repository/revisions/e7ce8adc506068491c8545a1990992267598bd33 kdm reads the entry "DesktopNames" from xsession file.

If that entry does not exist it will dereference a NULL pointer.
For example in Fedora 20, Xfce-session does not provide an entry DesktopNames.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove the entry DesktopNames from the xsession file of your corresponding session manager
2. Login via kdm 
3. Segfault
Actual Results:  
crash

Expected Results:  
no crash
