Bug#755761: gdm3: Unable to start KDE after last gdm3 upgrade

[hl037]

Hi, I'm on archlinux and I've the same bug.
I searched and I I've saw the problem occurs in start_kdeinit_wrapper 
from the startkde script. On a forum (sorry can't retrieve the address), 
The man had the same problem and replacing start_kdeinit_wrapper by 
kdeinit fixed it.
Not my case, however, I searched around start_kdeinit_wrapper, and 
reading this source : http://code.woboq.org/kde/kdelibs/kinit … 
per.c.html 
<http://code.woboq.org/kde/kdelibs/kinit/start_kdeinit_wrapper.c.html> , 
I think it's just something like a launcher.
Thus, I looked at the argument "+kcminit_startup" given, and fell on 
this page after googled it : http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.p … 
ctly-is-it 
<http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/386499-kcminit_startup-What-exactly-is-it>
like the author I don't know the purpose of this programme, so I tried 
to comment these lines:

|328 # kdeinit unsets this variable before loading applications.
329 LD_BIND_NOW=true /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/start_kdeinit_wrapper +kcminit_startup
330 if test $? -ne 0; then
331   # Startup error
332   echo 'startkde: Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation.'  1>&2
333   test -n "$ksplash_pid" && kill "$ksplash_pid" 2>/dev/null
334   xmessage -geometry 500x100 "Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation."
335   exit 1
336 fi|

then the kde session starts from gdm. I didn't noticied any side-effect 
for now except it's much faster than usual
