Bug#527139: /etc/X11/Xsession: does not prevent X server reset during session setup
Package: x11-common Version: 1:7.3+18 Severity: normal File: /etc/X11/Xsession Running /etc/X11/Xsession does the X session setup and starts a session. However, it looks like the X server resets between merging ~/.Xresources and starting the final application. the workaround is to start an application beforehand like xmag& /etc/X11/Xsession It may be possible that another script is normally used to do that but skimming through Xsession(5) does not reveal any reference to such script. If I were to write/package another display manager I would likely need the Xsession script to perform correctly in absence of any other X client. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages x11-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip x11-common recommends no packages. x11-common suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
