XFree86 4.0.3 (as in Mandrake) is O.K. The reason os changed logic in
startx. In Mandrake8, startx added command line parameters to xinit
arguments and correctly handled the case of program name as first argument:
sysclientrc=/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
clientargs=""
...
while [ "x$1" != "x" ]; do
case "$1" in
/''*|\.*) if [ "$whoseargs" = "client" ]; then
if [ "x$clientargs" = x ]; then
clientargs="$1"
else
clientargs="$clientargs $1"
fi
Now in current version startx is unconditionally using command line
arguments if given:
sysclientrc=/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
defaultclientargs=""
clientargs=""
...
while [ "x$1" != "x" ]; do
case "$1" in
--)
whoseargs="server"
;;
*)
if [ "$whoseargs" = "client" ]; then
clientargs="$clientargs $1"
...
if [ x"$clientargs" = x ]; then
clientargs="$defaultclientargs"
fi
That is wrong because default command to start (initrc) is lost in this
case.
