Bug#167642: xdm: missing colon in xdm-config
Package: xdm
Version: 4.2.1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The following line in etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config is missing a colon:
DisplayManager.authDir /var/lib/xdm
I do not know what the effect of the missing colon is; I have not tried to
start xdm without it. But the syntax for declaring X resources in the X(7x)
man page requires the colon:
The precise syntax for resources is:
[...]
ResourceSpec =3D WhiteSpace ResourceName WhiteSpace ":" WhiteSpace=
Value
[...]
