The problem is, /etc/X11/Xsession (and all the Xsession.d scripts it sourced) **shouldn't** be run in Z-shell. Patching /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsession # invoke global X session script. code from . /etc/X11/Xsession to /etc/X11/Xsession workarounded the issue (however I have no idea why). Switching to other display managers instead of KDM worked also) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Currently there's no simple reproduce method as another software(zsh)'s bug involved.
