Currently the startkde script is looking for scripts in $PREFIX/env/ and $KDEHOME/env. The former location is odd, especially considering that it isn't obvious KDE could use something in there. No other package installs something to /usr/env/, at least on my system. Furthermore it violates the FHS in my opinion. FHS 4.1: "/usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable, read-only data. That means that /usr should be shareable between various FHS-compliant hosts and must not be written to. Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere." The attached, exemplary patch also allows searching in /etc/kde/env (and /etc/kde/shutdown for shutdown scripts). Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 80861 [details] allows startkde to also search in /etc/kde/env and /etc/kde/shutdown
Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
I think this was solved when Plasma switched to Qt5.
