SDDM Xsession file behaves poorly on Gentoo distro

[ghost]

Not sure if this is a gentoo specific bug maybe better for the qt overlay team there. But your Xsession file doesn't behave well with gentoo..

namely it runs /etc/X11/xinitrc.d/* files twice..

1st run by your XSession file
2nd run by the /usr/share/xsessions/foo.desktop file
which typically calls a /etc/X11/Session/foo (shell script)

I strongly recommend the lxdm XSession file for reference instead of the kdm file currently being used.

I'm glad to confirm this solves the issue for me.

I would note here that it is entirely possible the DM's should be handling all xinitrc.d* runs and WM's should not be calling it at all.. sddm is not the only DM that does this, slim also does
