Bug#343828: xbase-clients: [xrdb] please allow use of xrdb parameters
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11
Severity: wishlist
As of http://www.gnome.org/~lcolitti/gnome-startup/analysis/, I wanted
to try using mcpp instead of GNU cpp, but
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources did not ease modifications
for it, so I wrote a tiny patch (here for using parameter "-cpp mcpp" of
course, but should be generic and clean enough for whatever other
usage).
Hope you can get this included anytime soon.
