Bug#604010: x11-common: xsession should use $SHELL and not sh directly



Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.5+7
Severity: normal

I'm used to bash since ages.

Debian recently moved to /bin/dash -> /bin/sh to speed up system scripts.

I use many bashisms in my .xsession.
I've configured /bin/bash as my prefered shell.

50x11-common_determine-startup SHOULD not use "sh $STARTUPFILE"
but "$SHELL $STARTUPFILE"

Regards,
Michel
