I felt that the second part "If a program or failsafe argument was given and
is allowed (see above), it is used instead" was also unclear about what
"it" is used instead, the argument or the .Xsession.
Also, in the second patch, I changed the ".xsession is used" to ".xsession may
be used" because, for sure in the failsafe case, the .xsession shouldn't be
used.
I know that these are minor documentation issues, but will you apply these
patches?
