Description Alex 2015-03-18 20:07:02 UTC
When the Autostart folder contains textfiles (or not executable shellscripts), KDE starts a bit slower, then plasma hangs and no KDE/Gnome programs (and no firefox/thunderbird) start anymore. I could only run programs, because i had a non-KDE terminal in autostart.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a shellscript in ~/.kde/Autorun
2. try to disable it with chmod -x
3. start KDE

Actual Results:  
- KDE starts (maybe a bit more slowly)
- Desktop loads, cursor gets a blinking kate icon
- The Panel hangs, all plasmoids on the desktop are hanging, the systray-icons of non-KDE programs are working
- Programs like firefox/thunderbird/KDE-programs/Gnome-programs hang without showing a window.
- Programs with other xlibs work (i.e. urxvt works just fine)
- KWin runs with all features as well

Expected Results:  
- Files are ignored or maybe opened in a texteditor

I suspect some race condition about stuff like dbus starting after the autostart programs but having to be started before kate.
