Bug#297003: startx: use Debian alternatives instead of hardcoded paths



Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

startx uses hardcoded paths to X and xterm rather than the
corresponding Debian defaults (using the alternatives system or
debconf). The attached patch fixes that. Please consider applying it
to the next release.
