[Bug 50450] Re: kdmrc lists /usr/bin twice in path examples

[allee]

in kde 3.5.4 for dapper from kubuntu.org:

# The PATH for the Session program.
# Default is "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games"
#UserPath=
# The PATH for Setup, Startup and Reset, etc.
# Default is "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11"
#SystemPath=

So /usr/bin/ is listed only once.

On the other hand /usr/bin/X11 is added, and at least
on my dapper system this is a link to /usr/bin ;)

Debian maintainer added in changelog:

  * Manually add /usr/bin/X11 to the KDM's default session path, as otherwise
    systems still running X11R6.9 won't be able to find X binaries, which can
    cause the login process to fail under certain circumstances. This bit of
    cruft (for X11R7 users) should be harmless, and can be removed post-Etch.
    (Closes: #367072)

So I assume in Edgy there's no need for /usr/bin/X11
but  I doubt it's worth the future merges.
