Bug#362889: xbase-clients: /usr/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc tries to use (possibly non-existant) twm/xterm
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.0.0-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
xinitrc tries to run twm/xterm (which may not exist) from
/usr/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc. In case there is some other window manager
or terminal emulator, it makes sense to execute those.
