(hmmm...nobody replied, so I will ;-) I think diversions do what I want in this case. I simply dpkg-divert the existing Xsession file, then replace it with an Xsession that does what I need it to do and then execs the original file at the end. Advantages: dpkg-divert supports arbitrary levels of diversion no shell-script surgery required no extra overhead for anyone who doesn't install a package that needs the support. Disadvantages: only works on Debian. Darn. ;-) -- I don't speak for Corel. zygob@corel.ca at work, zblaxell@furryterror.org at play.
