Comment 5 for bug 688518

Brown paper bag on :( On the good side only a developer debugging feature does not work as expected.

My patch was not complete. Additionally $1 in [ $1 = "netbook" ] need to be quoted. With the maverick-proposed pkgs I still get in .xsession-errors

...
Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default.
[: 225: =: unexpected operator
startkde: Starting up...
...

That due to $1 not defined when startkde is started by kdm.

root@lap-allee:~# dash
# [ $x = 'bla' ] && echo foo
[: 3: =: unexpected operator
# x=foo
# [ $x = 'bla' ] && echo foo
#

Appended patch fixes it.
