[Bug 976397] [NEW] in Kubuntu 12.04, plasma-desktop does not start in the KDE session

[Oded Arbel]

Public bug reported:

Its been like this for a while in the Kubuntu 12.04 alpha and beta, I'm
sorry I didn't report this sooner.

When I specify a KDE workspace session under LightDM, when I log in I
get krunner, but not plasma-desktop. This happens for all users on my
computer, including the guest user and a user I created new specifically
for testing.

I've tried apt-get install --reinstall plasma-desktop but to no avail.

When I type plasma-desktop in krunner, then the desktop just starts
fine. The same thing if I browse (using Dolphin) to /usr/share/autostart
and double click on the plasma-desktop entry. Its just that it does not
start up automatically.
