By the way, apologies for not sending udiffs earlier. I haven't
automated my bit of the review process yet. They're below now.
So xdm's template (and any others copied) still has two bugs:
1. this is not selecting which one runs "by default" is it? It seems
like it's selecting which one is the first choice. The one that runs
"by default" is the fall-back, the last choice, which I suspect is
x-terminal-emulator or similar. If in doubt, look up what "to default"
means.
2. Question remains: what check? This check? Another check? All checks?
Using "the" doesn't make sense to me here. On second reading, I think it
means all checks in the relevant init scripts.
Also, looking at the archives now I'm not on a train, xdm seems to
have gone straight from Intent To Review to Last Call For Comments
in March 2007 - when was the Request For Review?
Anyway, if a buggy template is uneditable, please don't send it for a
review and waste my time.
