Can you elaborate on "Xsetup"? How do you generically ensure environment variables get set globally for any X application (whether you turn on X via startx or via [xkg]gm)? Someone suggested /etc/login.defs, would this the file to use? And how can a package set the global environment variables it needs? For instance, with regards to /etc/profile, we don't have an /etc/profile.d directory to write package-specific config files to, like other unices have. Can I only get /etc/login.defs (or whatever) set by leaving the system administrator an instruction to change it by hand?
