Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: normal
Hi,
I was trying to run
startx /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -- /usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest -geometry 640x480 :1
but xterm appeared on :0. In /usr/X11R6/bin/startx I found
# display must be the FIRST server argument
so I tried
startx /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -- /usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest :1 -geometry 640x480
which worked. It would be good to have this constraint mentioned in the man page
or by startx. Or even better, it shouldn't even exist.
Bye,
Zoltan
