Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.1.0-12
Severity: wishlist

Apparently, there is no file at all where a number of environment
variables can be exported (e.g. PATH) and which will retain their value
during the whole X session.
~/.xsession is not a good option since it requires e.g. "exec startkde"
to be there at the end, while the choice of DE is already taken care of
by e.g. gdm (login manager), and more specifically /etc/gdm/Xsession.
~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile don't work either, since all shells in
which the Xsession scripts run seem to be sh shells. ~/.profile isn't an
option since the shells aren't login shells.
It seems to me that an extra file similar to /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources
would be an interesting option. This file should source a certain file
in the user's home dir (e.g. ~/.xprofile ?) in such a way that all
variable declarations there are exported to the whole X session which
shall be launched by another Xsession.d script.

   [ Julien Cristau ]
   * Deregister old debconf questions before calling dexconf.  dexconf calls
     db_stop, and we can't use debconf after that.  Add a comment to that
     effect above the dexconf call in debian/xserver-xorg.postinst.in, to try
     to prevent future mistakes.  Thanks, Michael Vogt!
 .
   [ Timo Aaltonen ]
   * dexconf: Remove reference to xserver-xorg/config/display/modes,
     which is no longer used.
 .
   [ Brice Goglin ]
   * Fix "no video driver modules found" message, thanks Robert Millan,
     closes: #453930.
   * Fix dexconf to write in /etc/X11/xorg.conf by default again,
     closes: #456925.
 .
   [ David Nusinow ]
   * Don't force fbdev on mac mini ppc any more. The ati driver no longer uses
     fbdev, and it has been reported to work on mac minis without it.
   * Add support for $HOME/.xsessionrc. Closes: #411639
     This file, if present, will get sourced during the start of your X
     session. This allows you to set session-wide environment variables easily
     for things like locale information. Patch adapted from one by Yves-Alexis
     Perez. Thanks also to Holger Levsen and Osamu Aoki for advice.
     + Adds 40x11-common_xsessionrc to /etc/X11/Xsession.d
     + Document this in Xsession.5 manpage
     + Add a NEWS.Debian entry about it
     + Modifies /etc/X11/Xsession to declare the location of ~/.xsessionrc.
       Custom versions of Xsession (like gdm's) will need an update
   * Use run-parts --list instead of a custom run_parts function.
     Thanks Vagrant Cascadi for the patch. Closes: #458345, #457606
