            Bug ID: 351931
           Summary: startkde should validate $KDEWM before using it
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.3.2
          Platform: Other
                OS: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kde@davidedmundson.co.uk
          Reporter: majewsky@gmx.net
                CC: bhush94@gmail.com, plasma-bugs@kde.org

When a friend upgraded his notebook from Plasma 4 to 5, KWin did not start
initially. It turned out that the problem was an "export KDEWM=kwin_gles" in
his .profile; and that binary was gone with KWin 5.x

It would be nice if startkde would validate the existence of the executable
given in $KDEWM before using it, so that such long-forgotten adjustments don't
confuse other upgraders.

Reproducible: Always
