Bug#362686: xbase-clients: .xsession and .Xresources not honored
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.0.0-2
Severity: important
After upgrading to modular X, startx and the rest of the X initialization
process stopped honoring .xsession and .Xresources. I had to rename
.xsession to .xinitrc and add an explicit xrdb -load .Xresources to it to
restore the previous behavior.
If this is intentional, it probably needs to be documented in NEWS.Debian,
as it's likely to bite a lot of people.
