Bug#258874: xbase-clients: startx hangs on startup with configured network which isn'tconnected

[Micha Feigin <michf@post.tau.ac.il>]

Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal

When starting X (startx or wdm) with a configured network but no network
cable pluged in then X hands on a network timeout. (running tcpdump
shows arp requests looking for the nameserver/gateway).

This started on the upgrade from dfsg.1-5 to dfsg.1-6
