By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Timothy Pearson 2011-01-23 17:28:18 CST 
XSession file needs the following header (tailored with ./configure options) prepended

export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="/usr/kde/3.5/etc/xdg"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/kde/3.5/lib"
export PATH="/usr/kde/3.5/bin:$PATH"

/usr/kde/3.5/bin/startkde

exit 0
Comment 1 Darrell 2011-12-01 14:13:34 CST 
Are those declarations needed in Xsession?

Regarding $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and $PATH, they are tested and set if necessary from within startkde.

Regarding $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, isn't that a build environment variable only and should not be set during run-time? I never have had that that variable set in my run-time setup --- only in my build environment.

Is this bug still valid? Can we close it?
Comment 3 Michele Calgaro 2018-07-27 10:50:25 CDT 
TDE working fine with standard X11 setup. Closing the bug.
Reopen if you think this is still required and explain why.
